Jeremiah 32:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 32:9

7 ‘Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying, “Buy my field which is in Anathoth, for the ^aright of redemption is yours to buy it.” ’

8 Then Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord, and said to me, ‘Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption yours; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.

9 So I bought the field from Hanamel, the son of my uncle who was in Anathoth, and ^aweighed out to him the money—seventeen shekels of silver.

10 And I signed the deed and sealed it, took witnesses, and weighed the money on the scales.

11 So I took the purchase deed, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open;

12 and I gave the purchase deed to ^aBaruch the son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the ^bwitnesses who signed the purchase deed, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the prison.

13 “Then I charged ^aBaruch before them, saying,

14 ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Take these deeds, both this purchase deed which is sealed and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may last many days.”
