STEPBible TIPNR
Neriah was the father of Baruch, who served as the scribe and assistant to the prophet Jeremiah (Jer 32:12). Baruch wrote down the prophecies that Jeremiah dictated to him (Jer 36:4). When King Jehoiakim burned the scroll containing these prophecies, Neriah's son Baruch rewrote them as Jeremiah dictated again (Jer 36:32). Neriah's grandson Seraiah also served Jeremiah (Jer 51:59). The name Neriah means "lamp of Yahweh" in Hebrew.
