Context: Nearjah is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament. He is identified as the father of Baruch, the scribe and companion of the prophet Jeremiah. Nearjah's name appears in the context of the lineage of Baruch, highlighting his role as a patriarchal figure. The name נְעַרְיָה (Nearjah) signifies a connection to Yahweh, emphasizing a relationship of servitude or dedication to God. This is consistent with the cultural and religious significance of names in the Hebrew tradition, where names often reflect personal characteristics or divine associations.

In the Berean Standard Bible, Nearjah is mentioned in the book of Jeremiah: "Baruch son of Neriah did everything Jeremiah the prophet had instructed him" (Jeremiah 36:8, BSB). This passage underscores Nearjah's importance as the progenitor of Baruch, who played a crucial role in documenting and preserving the prophetic messages of Jeremiah. Nearjah's legacy is thus intertwined with the prophetic ministry and the transmission of divine revelation.
