BaruchBaruch (בָּרוּךְ "Blessed", Standard Hebrew Baruḫ, Tiberian Hebrew Bārḵ) is the name of three people in the Hebrew Bible: Baruch son of Zabbai In the Book of Nehemiah Baruch son of Zabbai is listed as helping Nehemiah to repair the walls of Jerusalem http://www.mechon-mamre.org/e/et/et35b03.htm. Later someone called Baruch seals the covenant with Nehemiah http://www.mechon-mamre.org/e/et/et35b10.htm . These two may be the same person. Baruch son of Col-Hozeh In Nehemiah 11:15 Baruch son of Col-Hozeh is listed as a returned captive, from the Tribe of Judah http://www.mechon-mamre.org/e/et/et35b11.htm. Baruch son of Neriah Baruch son of Neriah was the scribe of the prophet Jeremiah. See Jer http://www.mechon-mamre.org/e/et/et1145.htm, http://www.mechon-mamre.org/e/et/et1136.htm. He acted in behalf of Jeremiah when Jeremiah was imprisoned (Jer http://www.mechon-mamre.org/e/et/et1136.htm) In Christianity The deuterocanonical Book of Baruch (considered by the Jews and most of the Protestants to be apocryphal) contains a work written by Baruch, the prophet, in Babylon, in the fifth year after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans. The Apocalypse of Baruch is a separate work from the Book of Baruch, also written by Baruch. He is said to have gone with Jeremiah to Egypt. Legend says that he died in Spain.
