The Baruch Bulla
The Baruch Bulla, purchased from a antiquities merchant, dates from the reign of Zedekiah, during which Jeremiah prophesied. The inscription reads: "[Belonging to] Berakhyahu / son of Neriyahu / the Scribe." The prophesies dictated to Baruch by Jeremiah would have borne such seals as this one: “So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote down in the scroll, at Jeremiah’s dictation, all the words which the Lord had spoken to him.” (Jeremiah 36-4)
