Gemariah

A Dictionary of the Bible | 1997 | | Â© A Dictionary of the Bible 1997, originally published by Oxford University Press 1997. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Gemariah There are two people of this name: (1) The son of Shaphan who tried to save Jeremiah's scroll from being burnt up (Jer. 36: 10 ff.). (2) The son of Hilkiah who took Jeremiah's letter to Babylon to encourage the exiles to settle down (Jer. 29: 3). Yahweh could be worshipped there and the destruction of his Temple did not imply the impossibility of Jewish worship elsewhere.
