Baruch told of his Death and bidden to give his last Commands to the People
1 But, do thou, Baruch, direct your heart to that which has been said to you,
And understand those things which have been shown to you;
For there are many eternal consolations for you.
2 For you shall depart from this place,
And you shall pass from the regions which are now seen by you,
And you shall forget whatever is corruptible,
And shall not again recall those things which happen among mortals.
3 Go therefore and command your people, and come to this place, and afterwards fast seven days, and then I will come to you and speak with you.
Baruch tells the Elders of his impending Death, but encourages them to expect the Consolation of Zion
