Bible Question: What did Jeremiah do to be restricted from the temple in Jeremiah 36:5? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Mossey, You ask, "What did Jeremiah do to be restricted from the temple in Jeremiah 36:5?" Related verses: Jeremiah 32:2; 33:1; 39:15. Here is a bit of commentary on this verse: "36:5 I am restricted. Perhaps because of his unpopular temple message(s) (see 7:2-15; 26:2-6), or perhaps because of the events recorded in 19:1-20:6." (1) "36:5 confined. The word means "restricted, hindered, shut up," and is the same term used for imprisonment in 33:1 and 39:15. The fact that princes allowed Jeremiah to depart into hiding (v. 19) may indicate that he was curtailed in some ways without being in prison. There is no record of his being imprisoned in Jehoiakim's rule." (2) Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible offers: "Shut up - Hindered from going; perhaps through fear of Jehoiakim." John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible offers "I cannot go into the house of the Lord: labouring either under some bodily infirmity, or ceremonial defilement, or was forbidden by the king. What was the true cause is not certain; but so it was, that either he was discharged, or disabled, or disqualified, from going into the house of God." "Chapter 36. The King Burns Jeremiah's Book Jeremiah, at this time, had been prophesying for 23 years, from the 13th year of Josiah to the 4th year of Jehoiakim. He is now commanded to gather these prophecies into a book, so that they could be read to the people, for, at the time, Jeremiah himself was not free to speak to the people, 5. It took a year or so to write the book, 1,9. The reading of the book made a profound impression on some of the princes; but the king brazenly and defiantly burned the book. Then Jeremiah wrote it all over again."
