The Letter to the Captives and the Rest of the Words of Baruch; verify the edition’s contents

The big picture.

This title points to material associated with Jeremiah beyond the arrangement familiar in a 66-book Bible. Ethiopian collections can include the Letter to the Captives, a short oracle against Pashhur, and the Rest of the Words of Baruch, often called 4 Baruch. Titles, divisions, and placement vary. Approach the collection through a clearly identified edition rather than assuming all works called Baruch are the same.
