Baruch

Baruch was the friend of the prophet Jeremiah, and his scribe, who was cast with him into prison, and accompanied him into Egypt (the Holy Bible, Jer. 36). There is also a book in the Apocrypha, instinct with the spirit of Hebrew prophecy, ascribed to him. A book titled "the Apocalypse of Baruch" is also referred to as Baruch, affecting to predict the fall of Jerusalem, but obviously written after the event.
