Jeremiah 36:1-2 The Lord spoke to Jeremiah in the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was ruling over Judah. 2 “Get a scroll. Write on it everything I have told you to say about Israel, Judah, and all the other nations since I began to speak to you in the reign of Josiah until now. … 4 So Jeremiah summoned Baruch son of Neriah. Then Jeremiah dictated to Baruch everything the Lord had told him to say and Baruch wrote it all down in a scroll. (NET)
In 1975 approximately 200 clay bullae turned up in the hands of a Palestinian antiquities dealer. One of those bullae (measuring 0.67” x 0.63”) contained an inscription in Paleo-Hebrew on three lines: “Belonging to Berechiah (Baruch) son of Neriah the scribe.” Berechiah is the name Baruch with the abbreviated divine name (yah) attached at the end. The bulla is dated to the late 7th or early 6th century BC.
