Jeremiah's actions were meant to be witnessed by others, underscoring the transparency and legitimacy of the event. In the context of ancient Israel, public transactions were often conducted in the presence of witnesses to ensure accountability and to prevent disputes. This public act also served as a prophetic sign to the people of Judah, symbolizing hope and the future restoration of the land despite the impending Babylonian exile.<p><b>I instructed Baruch</b><br>Baruch, the son of Neriah, was Jeremiah's scribe and trusted companion. His role was crucial in documenting Jeremiah's prophecies and actions. The instruction given to Baruch highlights the importance of written records in preserving God's messages and promises. Baruch's involvement signifies the continuity of God's word through faithful transmission. This also points to the broader biblical theme of God using chosen individuals to fulfill His purposes, much like the role of scribes in preserving Scripture.
