The king cuts the scroll Jehudi reads with the penknife and burns it in the brazier, and commands to arrest Baruch and Jeremiah

왕이 여후디가 낭독한 두루마리를 소도로 베어 화로 불에 태우고 바룩과 예레미야를 잡으라고 명함

Jeremiah 36:20–26: the text says, “They went in to the king into the court, but they had laid up the scroll in the room of Elishama the scribe. Then they told all the words in the hearing of the king.” So the king sends Jehudi to get the scroll, and he takes it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi reads it in the hearing of the king, and in the hearing of all the princes who stood beside the king. The text says, “Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, and there was a fire in the brazier burning before him. When Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier. The king and his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, and didn’t tear their garments. Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not listen to them. The king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the LORD hid them.” The Korean Revised Version has them lay up the scroll in the room of Elishama before they go in to the king (36:20: 두루마리를 서기관 엘리사마의 방에 두고 뜰에 들어가), and names Jehudi as the one who took it out of the room (36:21: 여후디가 서기관 엘리사마의 방에서 가져다가), where WEB reads “he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe”.

Entry: The king cuts the scroll Jehudi reads with the penknife and burns it in the brazier, and commands to arrest Baruch and Jeremiah (event-jer-36-the-king-cuts-the-scroll-and-burns-it)
Address: https://bibliadatum.org/en/wiki/event/jer-36-the-king-cuts-the-scroll-and-burns-it
Current wording: Jeremiah 36:20–26: the text says, “They went in to the king into the court, but they had laid up the scroll in the room of Elishama the scribe. Then they told all the words in the hearing of the king.” So the king sends Jehudi to get the scroll, and he takes it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi reads it in the hearing of the king, and in the hearing of all the princes who stood beside the king. The text says, “Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, and there was a fire in the brazier burning before him. When Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier. The king and his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, and didn’t tear their garments. Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not listen to them. The king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the LORD hid them.” The Korean Revised Version has them lay up the scroll in the room of Elishama before they go in to the king (36:20: 두루마리를 서기관 엘리사마의 방에 두고 뜰에 들어가), and names Jehudi as the one who took it out of the room (36:21: 여후디가 서기관 엘리사마의 방에서 가져다가), where WEB reads “he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe”.
