Usage: Gemarjah is a proper noun used as a masculine personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Gemarjah is a biblical figure mentioned in the Book of Jeremiah. He is identified as the son of Shaphan, a scribe during the reign of King Jehoiakim of Judah. Gemarjah is noted for his association with the prophet Jeremiah and the events surrounding the reading of Jeremiah's scroll. In Jeremiah 36:10, Gemarjah's chamber in the temple is the location where Baruch, Jeremiah's scribe, reads the words of the prophet to the people. This event is significant as it demonstrates the dissemination of Jeremiah's prophecies and the subsequent reaction of the king and his officials. Gemarjah's role highlights the involvement of certain members of the royal court in the preservation and communication of prophetic messages, despite the opposition from the king. His presence in the narrative underscores the complex dynamics between the prophetic community and the political authorities of the time.
