The officials, likely part of the king's administration, demonstrate the seriousness with which the message is being taken. Jehudi, a messenger with a detailed lineage, indicates the importance of family heritage and status in ancient Judah. The mention of Jehudi's ancestry underscores the credibility and authority of the message being delivered. This reflects the structured hierarchy within the royal court and the formal processes in place for communication.“Bring the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come here.” The scroll refers to the written prophecies of Jeremiah, which Baruch had read publicly. This public reading signifies the transparency and urgency of God's message to the people of Judah. The officials' request to bring the scroll indicates their desire to verify and understand the content directly, showing a level of accountability and responsibility. This act of reading aloud is reminiscent of other instances in Scripture where God's word is proclaimed publicly, such as in <a href="/nehemiah/8.htm">Nehemiah 8:1-8</a>, emphasizing the power and authority of the written word.So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll and went to them. Baruch, as Jeremiah's scribe, plays a crucial role in the dissemination of the prophetic message. His obedience in taking the scroll to the officials demonstrates his faithfulness and dedication to his task. Baruch's actions can be seen as a type of Christ, who faithfully delivers God's message to humanity. The movement of the scroll from public reading to the officials' presence signifies the transition of God's word from general proclamation to specific examination by those in authority, highlighting the accountability of leaders to heed divine warnings.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jehudi.htm">Jehudi</a> A messenger sent by the officials to retrieve Baruch and the scroll.

It is probably indicated by the first and last names on the list. Cushi ( = Ethiopian)--the name appears, probably with this sense, as that of a courier of Joab's in <a href="/2_samuel/18-21.htm" title="Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what you have seen. And Cushi bowed himself to Joab, and ran.">2Samuel 18:21</a>--was an alien by birth, who, like Ebed-melech the Ethiopian (<a href="/jeremiah/38-7.htm" title="Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;">Jeremiah 38:7</a>), had gained the favour of one of Jehoiakim's predecessors, and had become a proselyte. The rule of <a href="/deuteronomy/23-8.htm" title="The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.">Deuteronomy 23:8</a> did not admit of the full incorporation of the descendants of such proselytes--Edomite or Egyptian, the latter term being taken probably as including Ethiopian--till the third generation, and the name Jehudi ( = Jew) was naturally enough given to the child who first became entitled to that privilege. The part he takes in the proceedings, though not more than ministerial, indicates sympathy with the prophet, and we may perhaps connect this with the like sympathy shown by Ebed-melech in <a href="/jeremiah/38-7.htm" title="Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;">Jeremiah 38:7</a>. In <a href="/psalms/87-4.htm" title="I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.">Psalm 87:4</a> (probably belonging to the reign of Hezekiah) we have, it may be noted, a record of the admission of such Ethiopian proselytes. The purpose of his mission was to bring Baruch to the council of princes, that they might judge, on hearing the contents of the roll, how far it corresponded with Michaiah's report. He comes, the princes listen, and the impression made on them is given in <a href="/jeremiah/36-16.htm" title="Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid both one and other, and said to Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.">Jeremiah 36:16</a>. We note a tone of respect in the request that Baruch would "sit down"--i.e., take the attitude of a teacher (<a href="/luke/4-20.htm" title="And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.">Luke 4:20</a>). . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/36.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 14. - Jehudi... the son of Cushi.

Jehudi is not a true proper name, any more than Gadi ("a Gadite"), the quasi-name of the father of Menahem (<a href="/2_kings/15-14.htm">2 Kings 15:14</a>), or than Cushi, the quasi-name of Jehudi's great-grandfather. Cushi himself was, doubtless, an Ethiopian, and probably (like Ebed-melech, <a href="/jeremiah/38-7.htm">Jeremiah 38:7</a>) a eunuch, or at least chamberlain; his son and grandson were both worshippers of Jehovah (as their names indicate), but were not qualified to become Jewish citizens.
