Gemariah, 'Yah has accomplished'; name of two men in Jeremiah
A theophoric personal name meaning 'the LORD has accomplished' or 'Yah has completed,' formed from the root gamar (H1584). Two distinct men bear this name in the book of Jeremiah. The first, son of Shaphan the scribe, had a chamber in the temple where Baruch read Jeremiah's scroll aloud (Jer 36:10-12, 25) and was among those who urged King Jehoiakim not to burn the scroll. The second, son of Hilkiah, served as an envoy carrying Jeremiah's letter to the Babylonian exiles (Jer 29:3).
