Jeremiah Chapter 36: Atheist Bible Study

Jeremiah Chapter 36: Atheist Bible Study

Get ready to roll your eyes heavenward as we delve into the oh-so-sacred shenanigans of Jeremiah Chapter 36 in our latest blasphemously fun podcast episode. Join us as we raise our skeptic's goblet to the high drama of ancient Judah, where divine messages get the ultimate brush-off from kingly arrogance.


In this episode, "Jeremiah Chapter 36: Divine Dictation Meets Royal Rebellion," we chuckle through the divine comedy where God plays publisher, Jeremiah steps into the role of a reluctant author, and the Rechabites win the 'Most Stubborn Teetotalers' award. Crack open a cold one (unlike the Rechabites, we don't shy away from a little libation) and listen as we dissect the heavenly commanded transcription that gets a fiery reception from a king who clearly never learned not to play with matches.


Ever wondered what happens when a prophet's to-do list includes writing a doomsday book for the naughtiest audience in Judah? Well, our main man Jeremiah sure did get a memo from the skies, dictating doom and gloom on a scroll that eventually finds its way into the royal incinerator. The kings of ancient times really knew how to handle bad reviews—just throw 'em in the fire and pretend they never happened. Modern-day publishers, take note.


Our podcast is more than just a biblical recap—it's a masterclass in ancient politics and divine vengeance, all wrapped up with a healthy dose of irreverent banter. Whether you're a history buff, a biblical scholar, or just in it for the laughs, this episode is a heretical hoot that'll have you questioning everything you thought you knew about prophetic literature. And if you're looking for a tale of censorship that predates Twitter bans, you've come to the right papyrus.


Don't miss the drama, the irony, and the utter lack of divine intervention when it comes to saving sacred texts from combustion. Subscribe, like, and share if you enjoy our content, or even if you just enjoy hearing religious texts get roasted (sometimes literally). Tune in to "Jeremiah Chapter 36: Divine Dictation Meets Royal Rebellion," where we confirm that even in ancient times, people knew how to get lit in more ways than one.

[00:01:28] and apparently some people believe in talking donkeys. We're not trying to pass

[00:02:18] food and family. Well do you remember what happened in what we're reading on Friday

[00:02:25] and where the hell we are today? Well we just got done reading uh see Jeremiah chapter 35

[00:02:31] that is correct. And in that chapter uh see I think God wanted Jeremiah to serve

[00:02:38] the Resha Bites alcohol and then God used them as an example of how well they

[00:02:44] held to their faith and their ideas and their whatever the principles. Yeah and they was like if

[00:02:51] you guys don't change your ways I'm gonna you know kill you. Right like he's been saying the whole

[00:02:56] fucking book. Right I just I'm like so these guys didn't drink and you're using that as an

[00:03:03] example as to why you're going to kill people. Right okay whatever man you know. Cool. So anyway

[00:04:42] Okay, hopping into Jeremiah chapter 36. Okay. And as we've mentioned before this chapter is out of

[00:04:51] order. Right. This one and the previous one out of order within the book of Jeremiah. Okay.

[00:04:57] And this chapter itself is numbered as chapter 43 in the Septuagint. Okay.

[00:05:05] Which is the Greek one got it and we went over that on Friday no Saturday or Q&A Saturday

[00:05:12] right as to why should be gray. Yeah kind of you you talk more about the books but I mean

[00:05:20] you just said that essentially they don't match up because they don't match up. Right and

[00:05:27] there are different people were making different copies and the sources were different

[00:05:33] and the idioms didn't always translate and they just staple things together in different orders.

[00:05:38] Got it got it okay yeah okay so let's get started on this are you ready? I'm ready.

[00:05:45] Now it came to pass in the fourth year of Huakim the son of Josiah King of Judah that this word came

[00:05:54] to Jeremiah from the Lord. This word saying yeah okay so this is God talking. Take a scroll of a book

[00:06:03] and write on it all the words that I've spoken to you against Israel against Judah and against

[00:06:08] all the nations from the day I spoke to you from the days of Josiah even to this day.

[00:06:15] That's this is the second time that they've mentioned that God told Jeremiah to write the sit down yeah

[00:06:21] yeah so it's funny because you know Jeremiah or his scribe or whatever or or hypothetically writing

[00:06:28] this book right yeah and they seem very mentionitis that God told them to do it totally told me to

[00:06:33] write it right yeah like out of the blue they're just like oh by the way yeah yeah no he told me

[00:06:39] I just wanted to let you know yeah nobody asked yeah okay this is God's doing right here yeah yeah

[00:06:45] this is God's word because God told me to do it uh huh sure it is guy it may be that the house of

[00:06:53] Judah this is still God talking yeah well hear all of the adversities which I purpose to bring upon them

[00:06:59] that everyone may turn from his evil way that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin so this is

[00:07:05] writing it down well this was back when there was still opportunity for the people to change their ways

[00:07:12] sure so he's like yes write it down so that you can like read it out loud to them over and over

[00:07:18] and over again and so the other people can have copies to read it over and over and over so that maybe

[00:07:24] they will change their ways because the shit that I have told you is that Babylon going get ya got it

[00:07:30] cuz y'all ain't act him right do you have I just uh backup just a step you said this is during

[00:07:35] the reign of Joaquin um do you Joaquin sorry um do you know what time frame this is or

[00:07:42] um because I get lost as to which king was winning how and right um hold on a sec let me

[00:07:50] cuz I thought I had some of that shit in my uh and I only asked because Jeremiah goes back and forth

[00:07:56] and back and all the time with regard to time frames and who's in charge and yeah all that shit so

[00:08:03] well okay so Josiah died in 609 BCE okay and so some of this probably took place around 604 maybe

[00:08:13] question mark okay yeah so this is still kind of a little bit earlier on before it was like really

[00:08:20] really shit hitting the fan yes okay all right okay so yeah there was still lots of time for them

[00:08:26] to not act like fucks lots of time meaning like a decade decade and a half right but they did it though

[00:08:32] then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Nariah and he was like bitch write this down right yeah

[00:08:39] and Baruch's like didn't God tell you and Jeremiah's like shut up and do what I say

[00:08:45] and Baruch like and Baruch wrote on wrote on a scroll of a book at the instruction of Jeremiah all

[00:08:53] the words of the Lord which he had spoken to him okay that's a lot of fucking words yeah

[00:08:59] I think it's hilarious but I mean they're essentially they're the ones telling the story uh huh

[00:09:05] and they're like and Baruch did this thing that he's doing right now yeah yeah Baruch's like

[00:09:13] Baruch's like and Jeremiah told me to write this down and Jeremiah is like no talk about yourself

[00:09:17] in the third person right and Jeremiah's or Baruch is like oh okay yeah apparently that happens

[00:09:26] somewhat frequently in the new testament with some of those apostolic guys is it more like

[00:09:31] is it supposed to be more authoritative when you talk about yourself in the third person oh I don't

[00:09:34] know okay I honestly yeah yeah no I just you know and Jeremiah commanded Baruch saying I am combined

[00:09:43] I cannot go into the house of the Lord because he's like in prison or some shit okay so you go

[00:09:50] therefore and read from the scroll which you have written at my instruction the words of the Lord

[00:09:55] in the hearing of the people in the Lord's house on the day of fasting wait they've imprisoned

[00:10:00] you yeah for saying the shit that you say yeah you want me to write this shit down and then go

[00:10:06] say it in front of those same people so what I can get in prison yes exactly I'm glad you understand

[00:10:11] me this is that's bullshit no Baruch do what I tell you okay just go I just go I think that's rude no

[00:10:22] okay just do you want to be my equal do you want to be a prophet guy someday I don't know I mean

[00:10:30] whoa it doesn't sound like you do no Baruch yeah I'm gonna tell your dad yeah okay so let me go

[00:10:39] over to my notes a bit okay with regard to Jeremiah commanding Baruch saying he's confined Jeremiah

[00:10:47] may have been hindered through fear of Joaquim because he was not actually in prison he was just confined

[00:10:55] so he was kind of free to go within the temple yeah which is where this is taking place okay okay so

[00:11:02] he may have just been scared or perhaps due to ceremonial and uncleanness like it might have

[00:11:09] been a bad day he might have like ejaculated it for maybe or I don't know for his undies yeah right

[00:11:15] or he may have been forbidden by the princes to enter got it so for whatever reason he was I

[00:11:22] think that he was just like yeah Baruch you do it you go do it got it I I'm not gonna go you go

[00:11:31] that's what it sounds like to me got it okay so then also when I said now um it was the oh no

[00:11:41] I didn't say that yet nothing sorry okay so he's like Baruch go read this shit okay and do it in

[00:11:49] the hearing of the people in the Lord's house on the day of fasting okay I'm gonna say some more

[00:11:55] about that in a minute and you shall also read them in the hearing of all Judah who come from their

[00:12:01] cities it may be that they will present their supplication before the Lord and everyone will turn

[00:12:07] from his evil ways for great is the anger and the fury that the Lord has pronounced again hit

[00:12:14] against his people if they don't change their way yeah yeah God is pissed go read this right okay they

[00:12:20] totally won't get mad at you right yeah yeah and Baruch the son of Nariah did according to all that

[00:12:27] Jeremiah the prophet commanded him reading from the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house

[00:12:34] now it came to pass in the fifth year of walkim the son of Josiah king of Judah in the ninth month

[00:12:42] that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Jerusalem and to all the people who

[00:12:49] came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem okay so that's what I wanted to say a few things about okay

[00:12:56] first of all notice that it was the people who proclaimed the fast not the king okay so what are

[00:13:03] they fasting about why was there just a random fast declared right the fast was related to the fall

[00:13:10] of Ashklon on the Philistine territory by the Babylonian army okay a city fell and so the people

[00:13:18] were like fasting okay got it and this probably took place around November of 604 BCE okay

[00:13:27] and this event was recorded in the nebuchadnezzar chronicle and I was like I'm sorry excuse you what

[00:13:33] right what is that yeah I'll tell you that in just a sec because you know I look that shit up

[00:13:37] right okay and this event may have caused a little bit of terror in Judah because they had just

[00:13:44] allied themselves with Egypt since the death of Josiah in 609 okay okay so they're like oh fuck

[00:13:51] me so they declared a fast got it okay so okay I'm sorry let's go back to nebuchadnezzar

[00:13:57] chronicle now yeah right like what the fuck is that right it's also known as the Jerusalem chronicle

[00:14:04] and it's one of the series of Babylonian chronicles and it contains a description of the first 11

[00:14:12] years of the reign of nebuchadnezzar the second yeah what all right the tablet details nebuchadnezzar's

[00:14:18] military campaigns in the west and has been interpreted to refer to both the battle of Karsha Mesh

[00:14:25] and the siege of Jerusalem in 597 BCE oh wow right yeah and the tablet itself is currently stored

[00:14:34] in the british museum I think we talked about this once before no that was a different tablet are

[00:14:39] you sure yes okay yes all right yeah I was very excited about this all right okay also they have

[00:14:47] found seals of many of the people Baruch being one of them yeah that not all of them have been

[00:14:56] like quote unquote authenticated sure but they have found things that suggest that some of these

[00:15:03] people actually existed got it yeah so that's very cool which I mean that makes sense we've

[00:15:08] done the bit of research that we have done kind of indicates that the whole Jeremiah and Baruch

[00:15:14] thing is pretty well established yeah it's a thing that probably happened right maybe not the way

[00:15:19] that the Bible records it is happening with all the magic and gods right all right but that

[00:15:25] relationship that that entity of writers that that whatever those guys they existed yeah right yeah I

[00:15:30] just I don't know every time that happens I'm like that's cool because I like history yeah all right

[00:15:37] so then Baruch read from the book of the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord in the chamber

[00:15:44] of Gemaraya the son of Shafan the scribe in the upper court at the entry of the new gate

[00:15:51] of the Lord's house in the hearing of all the people okay that's a lot of guys yeah did you get all

[00:15:56] that sure okay when Makaya the son of Gemaraya the son of Shafan heard all the words of the Lord

[00:16:05] from the book he then went down to the king's house into the scribes chamber and there all the

[00:16:11] princes were sitting a Lashama the scribe the liar the son of Shemaia Elmathan the son of Ac Boer

[00:16:20] Gemaraya the son of Shafan Zedakaya the son of Hanna Naya and all the princes and so a lot of

[00:16:26] those seals of those guys have been found okay yeah so I mean that's just cool right then Makaya

[00:16:34] declared to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read the book in the hearing of the

[00:16:40] people therefore all the princes sent Jehudai the son of Nethanaya yeah sorry I thought

[00:16:50] it was gonna say Nethaniel and then my mouth got ahead of me Nethanaya the son of Shemaia the son

[00:16:56] of Kushi Tuberuk saying take in your hand the scroll from which you have read in the hearing of

[00:17:03] the people and come they're like this is this news this thing you're reading this sounds important

[00:17:10] so come we got some guys you need to read this too okay alright so Baruch the son of Naya took

[00:17:16] the scroll in his hand and came to them these Prince guys yeah okay and they said to him sit down

[00:17:21] now and read it in our hearing so they were like we have some princes that might need to hear this

[00:17:26] okay so Baruch read it in their hearing okay yeah so let me go back to my notes here and Jewish

[00:17:35] traditions suggest that the oh I'm not there yet nothing okay yeah that'll come in a minute

[00:17:40] okay so now it happened when they had heard all the words the princes yeah were like interested

[00:17:46] that they looked in fear from one to another and said to Baruch oh shit that's what they said

[00:17:54] right but they were like we will surely tell the king of all these words hmm they were like

[00:17:58] oh king's gonna want to know about this because this is bad got it and they asked Baruch saying tell

[00:18:04] us now how did you write all these words at his instruction so Baruch answered them he proclaimed

[00:18:10] with his mouth not his butt all these words to me and I wrote them with ink in the book

[00:18:17] Jeremiah proclaimed them to you yeah where's he saying God proclaimed them to him

[00:18:21] Baruch answered them he proclaimed with his mouth Jeremiah proclaimed with his mouth these words

[00:18:28] to me and I wrote them with ink right I'm just saying it would carry more authority if it was

[00:18:34] coming directly from God right well yeah that but they're saying Baruch how did you come by this

[00:18:39] and Baruch is saying well you know that prophet guy Jeremiah he told me to write this shit down

[00:18:45] but they don't like him so I'm not like this one like political aspect of this thing I'm not

[00:18:49] really understanding some of them do okay some of them are so this is the way of getting around the

[00:18:56] yeah you know snubby no Jeremiah to read some of the people that might actually want to hear

[00:19:01] what he has to say exactly exactly they're they're trying to spread the word got it to people

[00:19:06] that might be able to help okay better in positions of power that might actually

[00:19:13] want to know about this and act on it got it so then the princess said to Baruch go and hide

[00:19:19] you in Jeremiah and let no one know where you are okay okay so that's where I cut myself off okay

[00:19:26] Jewish tradition suggests that the place of concealment was with the so-called quote grotto of Jeremiah

[00:19:33] which is located outside the Damascus gate okay okay so I don't know how much um credence to put

[00:19:41] in that but there is a Jewish tradition that says that that's where it was yeah okay these people

[00:19:46] were really like not well thought of though apparently because they had to hide out and get their message

[00:19:51] spread in different ways yeah but these are princes so these guys are like okay we got you

[00:19:59] but yeah but I mean like when you get higher up into political circles there are people that want to

[00:20:03] hear different messages and if it serves them yeah to hear that message then like they're probably

[00:20:09] seeing the reality right like the hey these these fucking people are coming to attack us and we need

[00:20:15] to motivate people to do something about it right and you know if this is the way to do it then

[00:20:22] we should go with this but like you know if it's not what people want to hear you still have to hide

[00:20:28] the messenger is not going to be well thought of overall but it might serve their political purposes

[00:20:33] that is true that's true okay so these guys they went to the king into the court but they stored

[00:20:40] the scroll in the chamber of al-Ashama the scribe okay and they told all the words in the hearing

[00:20:46] of the king so they didn't take the scribe or the people with them they just went and told the

[00:20:51] king themselves like king guy we got a story to tell you yeah and you really want to hear this

[00:20:57] this is bad okay so the king sent jahudi to bring the scroll okay because he's like no I don't

[00:21:04] I need to see this for myself right right okay and he took it from al-Ashama the scribe's chamber

[00:21:09] and jahudi read it in the hearing of the king and in the hearing of all the princes who stood beside

[00:21:14] the king now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month with a fire burning on

[00:21:21] the hearth before him okay so when they say he's sitting in his winter house it wasn't like an

[00:21:26] entirely different house it was just like the wing of the house built for winter yes where they had

[00:21:32] fires going and it the best of the sun making use of that sure okay and it happened when jahudi had

[00:21:40] read three or four columns that the king cut it with the scribe's knife and cast it into the fire

[00:21:46] on the hearth until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth so this is political

[00:21:52] oh yeah 100% yeah okay let me tell you a little bit about this yeah okay it has been estimated

[00:22:01] that the scroll containing Jeremiah's prophecies was a fairly extensive collection containing several

[00:22:08] multiples of three or four columns of writing because don't forget these are scrolls not books

[00:22:14] right yeah okay also another note scribes use small sharp knives to trim their read pens so like cutting

[00:22:23] wooden of necessarily been easy okay as all ancient Hebrew manuscripts sheets found to date were made

[00:22:32] of either leather or vellum instead of papyrus it would have been difficult to cut through them with

[00:22:37] just a scribe's knife okay scholars therefore conclude that the scroll was likely cut sheet by sheet

[00:22:44] at the sutures uh where they were put together right right okay um this this part is so interesting to

[00:22:51] me probably too many details for you but i just think this is so interesting yeah researchers have

[00:22:57] studied the average number of lines per column and the average number of words per line in ancient

[00:23:04] Hebrew biblical manuscripts to estimate that the text in one of the columns of writing described

[00:23:11] in this verse we contain a little bit more than one chapter of Jeremiah okay right so therefore

[00:23:18] it has been estimated that the scroll destroyed in the presence of King Joachim would have contained

[00:23:24] between 18 to 24 chapters of the book of Jeremiah oh wow which may form the major parts of the first

[00:23:33] 25 chapters in the current version of the book okay so 25 chapters basically he cut up and tossed

[00:23:42] into the fire got it yeah I just I don't know that like made it feel more I could understand what

[00:23:49] was happening more right you know yeah and scroll to book I don't know how that translates

[00:23:55] sure it's like miles to kilometers right yeah okay so he's doing this and he's cutting it up and

[00:24:02] he throws it in the fire that was on the hearth yet they the princes were not afraid nor did

[00:24:07] nor did they tear their garments the king or any of his servants who heard all these words okay

[00:24:13] nobody was worried or scared okay yeah nevertheless Elnathan Delaya and Gamaraya implored the king

[00:24:23] not to burn the scroll they were like dude king my guy I don't think that was smart but he would not

[00:24:30] listen to them and the king commanded Jeremiah the king's son Saraya the son of Asriel

[00:24:37] and Shalamaya the son of Abdel to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet but the Lord

[00:24:45] hid them the Lord hid them or the princes said hey hide yeah as they had already done yeah yeah

[00:24:52] they were already hiding right they knew this was not going to go over that's why the princess that's

[00:24:56] why Jeremiah told Baruch to do it and that's why the princess said yeah you both need to hide that's

[00:25:02] why he's saying this all sounds very this is very political this is a very political yeah much of

[00:25:08] like information this is all right right is the word you're looking for yeah yeah yeah I like that word

[00:25:14] and it's perfect here right yes now after the king had burned the scroll with the words which Baruch

[00:25:20] had written at the instruction of Jeremiah the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah saying you know

[00:25:27] this this whole scroll is gone everything that you just wrote all those hundreds of words 25

[00:25:32] is chapters right gone right okay take yet another scroll and write on it all the former words

[00:25:39] that were in the first scroll which walk him the king of Judah has burned and you shall say to

[00:25:45] walk him king of Judah thus says the Lord you fuckers have burned this scroll saying why have you

[00:25:53] written in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land and cause man and

[00:25:58] beast to cease from here therefore thus says the Lord concerning what came king of Judah he shall have

[00:26:04] no one to sit on the throne of fucking David and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat of the day

[00:26:09] and the frost of the night are you taking note here I'm telling you to write this shit down right

[00:26:13] you doing it I'm telling you to write it on top of all the other shit that you already wrote right

[00:26:19] like yeah you already told him that a hundred times yeah they got it right okay God's still talking

[00:26:25] I will punish him his fucking family his fucking servants and all for their iniquity what the

[00:26:32] fuck the servants yeah that's bullshit yeah I'm punishing everybody I'm God I'm precarious yeah I'm

[00:26:39] petty I am vengeful I'm a jealous god but the thing is though this king is petty and jealous and

[00:26:46] vengeful right he's the one dismissing out of hand these these notes and it's his decision as to

[00:26:53] whether he's going to make moves to change things with regard to this information or not right

[00:26:58] and yet everybody he knows and hasn't I'm God I can't have time for that I don't want to hear that

[00:27:05] I'm just saying it's kind of a shit move on God I don't want to hear it right okay I mean that

[00:27:09] it's like those um those cartoons on the uh youtube where all the time he just goes

[00:27:16] cuz I'm bad right right right like that's his sole answer like cuz I'm God yeah because I said so

[00:27:22] right the end and I will bring on them and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem and on the men of Judah

[00:27:28] all the fucking doom that I have pronounced against them but they did not heed okay so I mean

[00:27:36] we're basically catching back up to where we were before you know like remember that time when

[00:27:42] we already this already happened and then we had to go back and be like this is what happened

[00:27:47] and now we're back to okay so anyway yeah yeah then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it

[00:27:53] to Baruch the scribe the son of Nariah yeah who wrote on it at the instruction of Jeremiah all the

[00:27:59] words of the book which Joachim King of Judah had burned in the fire and besides they were added

[00:28:05] to them many similar words the end okay so that is why this chapter so fucking repetitive and stupid

[00:28:13] because they were like writing it down over and over and over again I guess yeah that's my that's

[00:28:20] my guess that that that whole chapter seemed somewhat pointless like here write these words down

[00:28:27] and then go take them to the king and then the king's gonna not like them and then write them down

[00:28:32] again I mean yeah you could have said it so much quicker than what you did yeah the king didn't listen

[00:28:38] God's gonna destroy him and everybody he's always right I mean like there was there was there's

[00:28:44] just nothing new there you know it was cool finding out that there's some dudes in the castle some

[00:28:53] prince guys that are like high up right that are kind of yeah the political intrigue was a nice touch

[00:28:59] I like that but overall the message was not really new information or anything

[00:29:06] it's still God's am I getcha yeah but I do I do really like the idea of seeing this through

[00:29:12] a political lens though yes because to me it's it's what was actually happening like that that

[00:29:18] now I can't say that with authority right but to me that's how it feels I just like feels like

[00:29:24] it's it's a political thing I want to read this book you know what I mean yeah like I want to see

[00:29:29] this movie I want to watch this mini series on Netflix right right without all the gobbling good God

[00:29:37] stuff I just want the political intrigue yeah yeah like I want the guys sitting in the back room going

[00:29:43] okay how do we get the people okay we got to phrase it that God said like that's the story I

[00:29:50] want well and you in for that matter you could actually take out every reference to God and just

[00:29:55] make this about the impending doom coming in from Babylon yeah and and and how to prepare for it

[00:30:02] and why we should prepare for it it could be a whole different conversation really yes that doesn't

[00:30:07] even have to involve God yes that's like I said that's the story I want to read right that's the

[00:30:12] movie I want to watch that's the show I want to binge yeah so somebody get on that

[00:30:19] all right well that was Jeremiah chapter 36 sure fuck was which means that we'll be back tomorrow

[00:30:25] Jeremiah chapter 37 all right we'll see you then okay okay
