His actions demonstrate the importance of communication and the transmission of God's word. In the context of ancient Israel, oral reports were a primary means of disseminating information. Micaiah's report signifies the chain of communication that God often uses to convey His messages, reminiscent of the prophets who were tasked with delivering God's word to the people.<p><b>all the words he had heard</b><br>This phrase underscores the importance of faithfully transmitting God's message without alteration. The emphasis on "all the words" highlights the completeness and integrity of the message. In biblical times, the accuracy of oral transmission was vital, as it was the primary method of preserving and sharing divine revelations. This mirrors the responsibility of the scribes and prophets to maintain the purity of God's word, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/4-2.htm">Deuteronomy 4:2</a>, which warns against adding or subtracting from God's commands.<p><b>Baruch read from the scroll</b><br>Baruch, the scribe of Jeremiah, is a key figure in the preservation and proclamation of the prophetic message. The use of a scroll indicates the formal and authoritative nature of the message. Scrolls were the primary medium for written records in ancient times, and their use in this context signifies the permanence and seriousness of the prophecy. Baruch's role as a scribe is akin to that of a modern-day secretary or recorder, ensuring that Jeremiah's prophecies were accurately documented and disseminated.<p><b>in the hearing of the people</b><br>The public reading of the scroll signifies the communal aspect of receiving God's word. It was common in ancient Israel for the law and prophecies to be read aloud to the assembly, as seen in <a href="/nehemiah/8.htm">Nehemiah 8:1-8</a>, where Ezra reads the Law to the people. This practice ensured that everyone, regardless of literacy, had access to God's instructions and warnings. The public nature of the reading also served to hold the community accountable to the message, fostering a collective responsibility to respond to God's call.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/micaiah.htm">Micaiah</a></b><br>The son of Gemariah, who was a scribe in the court of King Jehoiakim.
