Context of Jeremiah 32:15

13While all those people listened, I said to Baruch, 14‘The Lord Almighty, Israel's God says, “Take these two pieces of paper that have the agreement about the sale of land. Take the piece that has a seal on it and the piece without a seal. Put them both in a clay jar to keep them safe for a long time.” The Lord Almighty, Israel's God, says, “A time will come when people in this land again buy houses, fields and vineyards.” ’ 16After I had given Baruch the pieces of paper about the sale of land, I prayed to the Lord. 17I said, ‘Lord God, you used your great power and strength to make the earth and the sky. Nothing is too difficult for you to do.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15Houses and fields - shall be possessed again - That is, this is an evidence that the captivity shall not last long: houses, etc., shall here be possessed again, either by their present owners or immediate descendants. The young might return; at least, all under ten years of age: there was no natural impossibility that they should not live till they should be fourscore.Read the comment

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 15Jeremiah explained why he made the purchase: He was investing in the future that God had promised. Someday, exiled survivors from the destruction of Judah would return, and the worthless land would become productive and valuable again. Jeremiah had already predicted that the exile would last for seventy years (Jeremiah 25:11–12; 29:10). Jeremiah's purchase showed his faith in the Lord's plan to restore his people.Read the comment
