REST OF THE WORDS OF BARUCH. This book was undoubtedly written originally
by a Jew but was subsequently revised by a Christian, as has been shown by
Kohler in the _Jewish Quarterly Review_ (1893), pp. 407-409. It passed
under a double name in the Abyssinian Church, where it was known both as
"the Rest of the Words of Baruch" and "the Rest of the Words of Jeremiah."
Its Greek name is the latter--[Greek: ta paraleipomena Hieremiou
prophetou]. It has been preserved in Greek, Ethiopic, Armenian and
Slavonic. The Greek was first printed at Venice in 1609, next by Ceriani in
1868 in his _Mon. Sacra_, v. 11-18; by Harris, _The Rest of the Words of
Baruch_, in 1889; and Bassiliev, _Anec. Graeco-Byzantina_, i. 308 sqq.
(1893). The book begins like the Syriac Apocalypse of Baruch with an
account of the removal of the sacred vessels of the Temple before its
capture by the Chaldees. Baruch remains in Jerusalem and Jeremiah
accompanies the Exiles to Babylon. After 66 years' exile Jeremiah brings
back the Jews to Jerusalem, but refuses to admit such as had brought with
them heathen wives. Then follows a vision of Jeremiah which is Christian.

Harris regards the book in its present form as an eirenicon addressed to
the Jews by a Christian after the rebellion of Bar Cochba (Barcochebas) and
written about 136. Though the original work was dependent on the Apocalypse
of Baruch it cannot have been written much before the close of the 1st
cent. A.D. Its _terminus ad quem_ is at present indeterminable.

[1] Toy (_Jewish Enc_. ii. 556) thinks that the "them" in ii. 4, 5 may be a
scribal slip and that we have here not the confession of the Palestinian
remnant and that of the Exiles, but simply a juxtaposition of two forms of
confession.

[2] In ii. 25 we have the word [Greek: apostole] with the extraordinary
meaning of "plague" as in Jer. xxxix. (xxxii.) 36.

and practically also in xliv. 12. but without acknowledgment.
