14<\/strong>. Jehudi the son of Cushi<\/em> ] Although the first of these names also means a Jew, and the second an Ethiopian, it is more probable that both are distinctly proper names here. There may, however, still be a reference to Ethiopian descent in the latter name. We may note that it is quite usual in mentioning persons of comparatively slight distinction to trace their descent back for three generations.<\/p>\n Jehudi signifies a Jew and Cushi an Ethiopian, but it seems reasonable to conclude that they are genuine, proper names.<\/P> <\/p>\n That is, all the princes that at that time sat there in council sent a messenger with a command to Baruch to appear before them: and to bring the roll which he had read in the ears of the people. <\/P> <\/p>\n 14. Jehudi<\/B>of a good family,as appears from his pedigree being given so fully, but in asubordinate position. <\/P> come<\/B>Instead ofrequiring Baruch to come<\/I> to them, they ought to have gone<\/I>to the temple, and there professed their penitence. But pride forbadeit [CALVIN].<\/P><\/p>\n Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi<\/strong>,…. Who, according to Junius, was the king’s apparitor: he is described by his descent,<\/p>\n the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi<\/strong>; him the princes sent, being not one of their body, but a servant at court:<\/p>\n to Baruch<\/strong>; who was very probably still in the temple, where Micaiah left him:<\/p>\n saying, take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come<\/strong>; that is, to the king’s palace, to the secretary’s office, where they were, and bring the roll along with him he had been reading to the people, and of which Micaiah had given them some account; and which had such an effect upon them, as to make them desirous of hearing it themselves;<\/p>\n so Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them<\/strong>; which showed great boldness and intrepidity in him, to go at once, without any hesitation, to court, and appear before the princes with his roll, which contained things so very disagreeable to the king and his ministry; but as he had not been afraid to read it publicly before the people in the temple, so neither was he afraid to read it before the princes at court.<\/p>\n They ought indeed to have gone up immediately into the Temple; but though they were not wholly irreligious, yet they shewed some pride, as they commonly do who are surrounded with splendor, being not disposed to humble themselves. We see that all courtiers are so inflated with pride, that they think it a disgrace to mingle with the common people. They wish some special honor to be reserved for themselves. This was the reason that they did not go up into the Temple that they might learn the message, but sent for Baruch to come to them. Now it was this that prevented them from the heart to repent. <\/p>\n We shall indeed see that they were smitten with fear, and filled with amazement; and we shall also see that they brought the matter before the king, and yet wished to provide for the safety of the Prophet and his servant; but they ought to have gone farther, even to join the people in the Temple, and make a public confession of their repentance. Why they did not we have explained: pride, vanity, and ambition always accompany wealth and power. <\/p>\n Baruch was then sent for, but in an honorable manner; for they did not send an obscure man; and hence his genealogy is given, and not only the name of his father is mentioned, but that of his grandfather and of his great-grand-father; and hence we conclude that he was a man of some eminence. They commanded him to come, and it is added, that having taken the roll he came to them; by which he manifested his firmness. His promptitude previously was commendable, that he ventured to go forth to the Temple and publicly to recite what tended to kindle the rage of the whole people. As in the beginning, he promptly undertook the office deputed to him, so now he persevered in the same course. He came to the princes; and he did not hide the roll, though he might have been carrying with him his own death, but he boldly went forth to them, for he knew that the whole business was under the direction of God. It follows, — <\/p>\n (14) Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah. . . .<\/strong>There must obviously have been some reason for the exceptionally long genealogy thus given. 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 Joabs in 2Sa. 18:21<\/span>was an alien by birth, who, like Ebed-melech the Ethiopian (Jer. 38:7<\/span>), had gained the favour of one of Jehoiakims predecessors, and had become a proselyte. The rule of Deu. 23:8<\/span> did not admit of the full incorporation of the descendants of such proselytesEdomite or Egyptian, the latter term being taken probably as including Ethiopiantill 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 Jer. 38:7<\/span>. In Psa. 87:4<\/span> (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 Michaiahs report. He comes, the princes listen, and the impression made on them is given in Jer. 36:16<\/span>. We note a tone of respect in the request that Baruch would sit downi.e., <\/em>take the attitude of a teacher (Luk. 4:20<\/span>).<\/p>\n 14<\/strong>. <\/strong> Take the roll and come <\/strong> Had these princes <\/strong> been where they perhaps should have been, they would have heard the reading at the first. The man who is in the congregation of God’s worshippers is in the way of the best things; the man who is not there is without the circle of God’s choicest blessings.<\/p>\n Jer 36:14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.<\/p>\n Ver. 14. Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi.<\/strong> ] Apparitorem regis, ut ex seguentibus constat.<\/em> – Jun.<\/p>\n Nethaniah: Jer 40:8, Jer 41:1, Jer 41:2, Jer 41:16, Jer 41:18, 2Ki 25:23 <\/p>\n Cushi: Zep 1:1 <\/p>\n took: Jer 36:2, Eze 2:6, Eze 2:7, Mat 10:16, Mat 10:28 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Jer 36:21 – Jehudi Jer 45:1 – when<\/p>\n Jer 36:14. The interest of these men was so aroused that they desired to hear from the book direct. They sent Jehudi to request Baruch to come with the book.<\/p>\n The officials then sent Jehudi to Baruch in the temple precincts, and told him to bring Baruch and the scroll to them. Jehudi must have been an important person, since the writer mentioned three generations of his ancestors, though there are no other references to him in the Bible.<\/p>\n Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come.
