Baruch
In the Old Testament, at least three persons are called Baruch (ברוך "Blessed", Standard Hebrew Baruḫ, Tiberian Hebrew Bārûḵ).
Baruch son of Zabbai
In the Book of Nehemiah (DRV) Baruch son of Zabbai is listed as helping Nehemiah to repair the walls of Jerusalem. Later (Neh ) someone called Baruch seals the covenant with Nehemiah. 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.
Baruch son of Neriah
Baruch son of Neriah was the scribe of the prophet Jeremiah. See Jer , .
He acted in behalf of Jeremiah when Jeremiah was imprisoned (Jer )
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.
