ירמיהו, פרק נ״א, פסוק ס״א

Completing a long journey requires a clear plan of action for the final destination. The prophet Jeremiah provides Seraiah with specific instructions on how to proceed the moment he arrives in Babylon after his extensive travels [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Upon reaching the city, Seraiah is commanded to focus his attention on the written scroll he carries. He must look directly inside the book and read the prophetic words out loud straight from the text [מצודת דוד, ביאור שטיינזלץ].
