Barukh the son of Neriyah 1 did according to all that Yirmeyahu the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD's house.
He read therein before the broad place that was before the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were [attentive] to the scroll of the Torah.
and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Barukh the son of Neriyah 1, the son of Mechaseyah, in the presence of Chanam'el my uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses who subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.
Then Yirmeyahu called Barukh the son of Neriyah 1; and Barukh wrote from the mouth of Yirmeyahu all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.
therefore go you, and read in the scroll, which you have written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD's house on the fast day; and also you shall read them in the ears of all Yehudah who come out of their cities.
