According to the conventional arrangement of books in the Hebrew Bible, the Book of Jeremiah or the Book of Jeremiah is located between the second and third major prophetic books of the fifteen prophetic books. It is hard to find any adjustment in the arrangement of the contents of the book of Jeremiah. In it, duration and subjects are mixed and repeated. So learning in part is not susceptible. However, it is one of the vastest books in the Bible with 52 chapters and has been re-read in various sections for convenience. The prophecies in the book of Jeremiah are deemed to be the extensively turbulent and tragic period in the history of the nation of Israel from the end of the seventh century to the beginning of the sixth century. The tragedy of these prophecies gave Jeremiah the nickname "the weeping prophet" who is considered the author. The word Jeremiah itself is synonymous with requiem and revelation. Following the defeat of Egypt at the Battle of Carchemish in 605 BC, the Babylonian rule of Nebuchadnezzar in the Middle East was confirmed. Following the fall of Jerusalem in 597 BCE, during the domination of Joachim, one of Josiah's successors, Nebuchadnezzar's forces exiled Jerusalem to Babylon. It marked the beginning of Babylonian slavery, a turning point in the history of Judaism. In 586-87 BC, the city of Jerusalem and the first synagogue of the Jews were destroyed. The four decades leading up to this conclusion and the next few years are considered to be the period of Jeremiah's prophecy.
