Commentary on Jeremiah 36:9

Theological / Devotional

In the fifth year. This was the year following the command of the Lord (see on v. 1).

In the ninth month. The reading of the roll was in the winter, in the month that began in November or December. Since the regnal years of the kings of Judah seem to have begun in the autumn (see Vol. II, pp. 110, 140, 146), this reading could have taken place as early as two or three months after the writing began.
