Jeremiah 32:9-14

9“I bought the field which was at Anathoth from Hanamel my uncle’s son, and I 1weighed out the silver for him, seventeen 2shekels of silver.

10I 34signed and 5sealed the deed, and 6called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales.

11Then I took the deeds of purchase, both the sealed copy containing the 7terms and conditions and the open copy;

12and I gave the deed of purchase to 8Baruch the son of 9Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanamel my uncle’s son and in the sight of the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, before all the Jews who were sitting in the court of the guard.

13And I commanded Baruch in their presence, saying,

14‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “Take these deeds, this sealed deed of purchase and this open deed, and put them in an earthenware jar, that they may 10last a long time.”
