His role was significant in documenting Jeremiah's prophecies and messages. Baruch's presence in this narrative highlights the tension between the prophet's message and the people's response. Historically, Baruch was from a notable family, which may have added to the suspicion and distrust among the people. His loyalty to Jeremiah and God’s message made him a target for blame.<p><b>is inciting you against us</b><br>The accusation of incitement reflects the people's resistance to Jeremiah's prophecies. They believed Baruch was manipulating Jeremiah to speak against them. This reflects a common biblical theme where messengers of God are often accused of having ulterior motives. The people's refusal to accept divine guidance is a recurring issue in the Old Testament, illustrating the struggle between human will and divine instruction.<p><b>to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans</b><br>The Chaldeans, synonymous with the Babylonians, were the dominant power at the time. The fear of being delivered into their hands was real and justified, given the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem. This phrase underscores the people's fear of political and military subjugation. Historically, the Chaldeans were known for their military prowess and harsh treatment of conquered peoples, which fueled the Israelites' dread.<p><b>so that they may put us to death</b><br>The fear of death at the hands of the Chaldeans was a legitimate concern. The Babylonians were known for their brutal tactics, including executions of those who resisted their rule. This reflects the dire situation the Israelites found themselves in, where they perceived any alliance or submission as potentially fatal. The fear of death is a powerful motivator and often leads to irrational decisions, as seen in the Israelites' rejection of Jeremiah's counsel.<p><b>or exile us to Babylon!</b><br>Exile was a common practice for the Babylonians, used to control and assimilate conquered peoples. The fear of exile reflects the loss of identity and homeland, a significant theme in the Bible. The Babylonian exile is a pivotal event in Jewish history, leading to profound theological and cultural shifts. This phrase also connects to the broader biblical narrative of exile and return, a cycle seen throughout the scriptures, symbolizing spiritual estrangement and redemption.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, called by God to deliver messages of warning and hope to the people of Judah.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/b/baruch_son_of_neriah.htm">Baruch son of Neriah</a></b><br>Jeremiah's scribe and faithful companion, often seen as a supporter and recorder of Jeremiah's prophecies.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/c/chaldeans.htm">Chaldeans</a></b><br>Another name for the Babylonians, who were the dominant power in the region and responsible for the conquest and exile of Judah.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/e/exile_to_babylon.htm">Exile to Babylon</a></b><br>A significant event in Jewish history where many inhabitants of Judah were taken captive to Babylon, fulfilling Jeremiah's prophecies.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/j/johanan_and_the_remnant_of_judah.htm">Johanan and the Remnant of Judah</a></b><br>Leaders and people left in Judah after the Babylonian conquest, who sought guidance from Jeremiah but doubted his message.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_danger_of_misplaced_blame.htm">The Danger of Misplaced Blame</a></b><br>The remnant of Judah wrongly accuses Baruch of inciting Jeremiah, illustrating how fear and distrust can lead to false accusations and rejection of God's message.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_trusting_god's_word.htm">The Importance of Trusting God's Word</a></b><br>Despite their request for guidance, the people of Judah fail to trust the message delivered by Jeremiah, reminding us of the importance of faith in God's promises.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/consequences_of_disobedience.htm">Consequences of Disobedience</a></b><br>The refusal to heed God's warning through Jeremiah leads to dire consequences, serving as a cautionary tale about the cost of disobedience.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_faithful_companions.htm">The Role of Faithful Companions</a></b><br>Baruch's loyalty to Jeremiah highlights the value of having faithful companions who support and uphold God's truth in challenging times.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_in_judgment_and_mercy.htm">God's Sovereignty in Judgment and Mercy</a></b><br>The events surrounding <a href="/bsb/jeremiah/43.htm">Jeremiah 43</a> demonstrate God's control over nations and His willingness to guide and protect those who seek Him sincerely.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_jeremiah_43.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Jeremiah 43</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/who_was_baruch_in_the_bible.htm">Who was Baruch in the Bible?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_trust_baruch's_account_in_jer._45_1.htm">In Jeremiah 45:1, how can we trust Baruch's firsthand account if there is little external evidence confirming his role or even his existence?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_baruch's_fate_historically_documented.htm">Jeremiah 45:5 promises Baruch personal safety; is there any historical documentation that confirms or disputes Baruch's eventual fate and well-being?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_is_jeremiah_in_egypt_and_judah.htm">How can we reconcile Jeremiah's presence in Egypt with traditions that he remained in Judah (Jer 43:6-7)?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/43.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(3) <span class= "bld">Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us.</span>--This was the solution which presented itself to the suspicions of the murmurers. The prophet's amanuensis had become his leader, and was making use of him as a tool for the furtherance of his own designs, and those designs were to court the favour of the conqueror by delivering the remnant of the people into his hands. The warning of <a href="/jeremiah/45-5.htm" title="And seek you great things for yourself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil on all flesh, said the LORD: but your life will I give to you for a prey in all places where you go.">Jeremiah 45:5</a> may perhaps be taken as an indication that there was a certain ambition and love of eminence in Baruch's character which gave a colour to the suspicion. Baruch himself has not appeared on the scene since the days of Jehoiakim (<a href="/jeremiah/36-32.htm" title="Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides to them many like words.">Jeremiah 36:32</a>), but it lies in the nature of the case that he would be known as advocating, like Jeremiah, the policy of submission to Nebuchadnezzar. The apocryphal Book of Baruch (<a href="//apocrypha.org/baruch/1-1.htm" title="And these are the words of the book, which Baruch the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, the son of Sedecias, the son of Asadias, the son of Chelcias, wrote in Babylon,">Baruch 1:1</a>) represents him as being actually at Babylon at the time of the capture of Jerusalem, and this was in itself probable enough. On this assumption Jeremiah was perhaps suspected of actually receiving instructions from the Babylonian Court through Baruch, who in <a href="/jeremiah/43-6.htm" title="Even men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.">Jeremiah 43:6</a> suddenly re-appears as the prophet's companion. Prophet and scribe were apparently seized and carried off by force, to prevent their carrying out the schemes of which they were suspected. The "remnant of Judah returned from all nations" refers to the fugitives from Moab, Ammon, or Edom, mentioned in <a href="/jeremiah/40-11.htm" title="Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan;">Jeremiah 40:11</a>. As the emigration included all who had gathered together under the protection of Gedaliah, it must have left the lands of Judah almost entirely depopulated, and the fear of this result may well have been among the reasons that determined Jeremiah's counsels.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/43.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 3.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on.</span> A singular supposition - Jeremiah leaving the initiative to his secretary!
