Context: The Hebrew word דְּיוֹ (deyo) appears in the Old Testament in the context of writing and documentation. It is specifically mentioned in Jeremiah 36:18, where Baruch, the scribe, describes how he wrote the words of the prophet Jeremiah with ink in a scroll. This reference highlights the practical aspects of ancient writing practices, where ink was an essential component for recording messages, prophecies, and legal documents. The use of ink in biblical times underscores the importance of written communication in preserving divine revelations and historical records. The process of making ink in ancient times involved combining soot or charcoal with water and a binding agent, such as gum arabic, to create a substance that could be applied with a reed pen. The mention of ink in the Bible reflects the broader cultural and technological context of the ancient Near East, where writing was a crucial tool for administration, education, and religious practice.
