**Baruch** son of Neriah received from Yirmiyahu [(according to Rambam in the introduction to Zera'im)] in year 3350, 12 years after the destruction [(and see above year 3332)]. And Baruch died in Bavel, and he did not merit to ascend, and Ezra his student stood in his place [(Sha'ar HaDorot there)]. And the grave of Baruch is near the grave of Yechezkel in Bavel [(Tzeda La'Derech, Kovetz HaPoskim in the laws of Chanukah)] in year 3350, 12 years after the destruction [(and see above year 3332)].

And it appears that the Sha'ar HaDorot also wrote that he received in year 3350 [(Sha'ar HaDorot)], and thus the matter of Baruch receiving in year 3338 is a typographical error.

**A story** is told that a king said to a Yehudi whose name was Rabbi Shlomo: "Go with me, for I wish to open the grave of Yechezkel the prophet in order to see it, for I have heard that he performed miracles." [The text continues with a lengthy story about attempting to open the prophet Yechezkel's grave, involving miraculous events, rivers, and divine intervention. It describes how those who attempted to disturb the grave were punished, and various wonders that occurred at the site.

The narrative includes dialogue between the king and the Jewish sage, discussions of the prophet's burial place, and the ultimate lesson that holy sites must not be desecrated. The story emphasizes the sanctity of the prophets' graves and the protection afforded to them by Heaven.]
