The Greek text of this first section seems to verify this fact and also seems to indicate that the same person from a Hebrew original translated both this first section and the Greek version of Jeremiah.
Yet the Greek and Syriac versions that exist also lead some scholars to question the existence of a Hebrew version of the second half of the book due to a number of Hebraisms and translation errors. While there is broad concurrence that Baruch himself did not pen this correspondence there is also unanimity that it was not written from Babylon in the sixth century B.
It is commonly held that the Greek version of — was most likely completed before B. The similarities of Baruch and Daniel also lead many scholars to choose this late date since the consensus is that Daniel was completed during this time frame and many believe that much of Baruch is borrowed from Daniel. Since it is likely that Baruch did not write this letter the question of authorship remains a mystery. Most commentators seem to think that the three different sections of prose and poetry, in addition to the introduction, were most likely penned by various authors and then combined by a redactor in order to give the book unity and flow.
The book itself contains three individual compositions that are joined together and given a narrative introduction: introduction — ; prose prayer — ; wisdom poem — ; and poem of consolation — Some versions add the Letter of Jeremiah as a sixth, self-contained, chapter.
The content of the book begins with a narrative introduction —14 that charges the people and priests who receive the letter to take the money that was collected and sent along with the letter and buy burnt offerings, sin offerings, grain offerings, and incense to offer up to the Lord They were to pray for the king of Babylon and for the people of Israel still in captivity — The first major section is a prose prayer of confession and repentance — The prayer begins with a confession of sins, a plea for deliverance, and a recollection of the promises of God.
Both the confession and prayer are a blending together of quotations from Jeremiah and Daniel. The second fragment is a wisdom poem of admonition and exhortation — As the first section borrowed heavily on Jeremiah and Daniel this section too relies on other Hebrew text Dan 30; Job This section seems to be strongly affected by Isa 40— The remnant is offered words of encouragement and Israel is personified and addresses her neighbors and her children. Zion is encouraged that she shall see the return of her children.
Each section seems to be so distinct not only in their individual styles and in the different text from which each seems to borrow but also in the terms each section chooses to use for God. Considering the historical inaccuracies, the lack of support among the Hebrew people to canonize and the difficulties with date and authorship I would concur with the exclusion of the Book of Baruch from canon.
I do feel however that the overall theme of the book is valuable as to the ongoing, cyclical state of the Jewish nation who were blessed by God, disobeyed, were subjected to exile, repented, and were ultimately redeemed by the God of their fathers. Louis H. The Apocalypse Of Baruch.
