Baruk, the scribe of Jeremiah, is the visionary seer of the Te'ezaza Sanbat, the Beta Israel 'Commandments of the Sabbath.' A great angel, named Sutu'el and often identified with Suriel, appears and exalts Baruch heavenward, letting him see all things hidden and manifest and bringing him into the heavenly Jerusalem, where he beholds high and established thrones, adorned places and shining crowns, and learns the rewards laid up for those who keep the Sabbath and the punishments for those who profane it. The Beta Israel work draws on the older Baruch apocrypha, reworked with Enochic and aggadic material.
