‏ Jeremiah 36:10

36:10  a Baruch ... stood in front of the Temple room of Gemariah: That is, Baruch obtained permission from this high official to read to the public. This elevated location near the New Gate entrance was close to where Jeremiah’s public trial had taken place a few years earlier (26:10  b).

• Gemariah had a godly heritage. His father, Shaphan, had participated in Josiah’s reading of the scrolls found in the Temple (2 Kgs 22:8-10  c).
