Jeremiah 36:13Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
The setting
Jerusalem, 605 BC. The royal scribe's chamber. Micaiah repeats every word of Jeremiah's prophecy to the assembled officials in modern-day Jerusalem, Israel.
The emotion here: recording faithful courage under pressure
The original word
nagad (נָגַד) — to declare or make known, often used for prophetic proclamation
Why it matters
Baruch was Jeremiah's personal scribe who had written down all the prophet's words from dictation
Read with care
What most readers miss in Jeremiah 36:13
Micaiah is essentially giving a second-hand prophecy - he's not a prophet but feels compelled to relay what he heard
Common misconceptionPeople think Micaiah was being disloyal to the king, but he was actually being supremely loyal - warning the nation's leaders while there was still time to repent.
