Context of Jeremiah 32:12
10And I subscribed the writing, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed the money in the balances. 11And I took the writing of the purchase, that which was sealed [according to] the law and the statutes, and that which was open; and I gave the writing of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Nerijah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's [son], and in the presence of the witnesses that had subscribed the writing of purchase, before all the Jews that were sitting in the court of the guard. 13And I charged Baruch in their presence, saying, 14Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these writings, this writing of the purchase, both that which is sealed and this writing which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may remain many days.
