     * He.
     # 2,4; 43:2,3; Pr 26:4,5|
     * with ink.
       {Baddeyo} is rendered by some, after him; but {deyo} (in
       Chaldee and Syriac {deyootha,} and in Welsh {du,}) certainly
       denotes ink; whence are derived the Arabic {dawat} and
       {deweet,} and Persian {deeveet,} an ink-holder; the Syriac
       {dayowo}, and Persian {div,} the devil.  So the Alexandrian
       copy of the LXX. has [en melani,] and Vulgate {atramento,}
       "with ink."  Perhaps the princes supposed that Baruch had
       written this roll from memory; and that it was rather to be
       considered as his composition, than the substance of
       Jeremiah's prophecies; and they might ask this apparently
       frivolous question in order to allay the alarms excited by
       considering it as the word of God.  But Baruch, with great
       simplicity, so answered their question, as to shew that he
       only acted as Jeremiah's amanuensis, and wrote verbatim what
       he had dictated.
