Footnotes

The phrase *mi-pi Yirmeyahu* ('from the mouth of Jeremiah') is a scribal technical term for dictation, underscoring Barukh's role as trained secretary rather than author. The fourth year of Yehoyaqim is 605 BCE—the very year Nebuchadnezzar shattered Egyptian power at Carchemish and marched toward Yehudah, making the scroll's composition (described in ch. 36) an act of urgent, defiant witness. This chapter is deliberately appended after the long narratives of chs. 37–44, functioning as a literary colophon: a personal oracle to the scribe who preserved the entire book. FOG preserves *sefer* as 'scroll' (a physical leather or papyrus roll), while FOG Message renders it 'scroll' likewise, though its typological weight—the written word surviving the city's fall—points forward to Scripture's own preservation.
