Jeremiah 32:1-15

1The wordH1697 that cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 from the LordH3068 in the 1tenthH6224 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, whichH1931 was the eighteenthH8083H6240 yearH8141 of NebuchadnezzarH5019. 2Now at that timeH227 the armyH2428 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 was besiegingH6696H5921 JerusalemH3389, and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 was shutH3607 up in the 2courtH2691 of the guardH4307, whichH834 was in the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, 3becauseH834 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had 3shutH3607 him up, sayingH559, “WhyH4069 do you 4prophesyH5012, sayingH559, ‘5ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “BeholdH2009, I am about to 6giveH5414 thisH2088 cityH5892 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he will takeH3920 it; 4and ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 will 7not escapeH4422 out of the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, but he will surelyH5414 be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he will 8speakH1696 with him 9faceH6310 to faceH6310 and seeH7200 him eyeH5869 to eyeH5869; 5and he will 10takeH1980 ZedekiahH6667 to BabylonH894, and he will be thereH8033 untilH5704 I visitH6485 him,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “IfH3588 you fightH3898 againstH854 the ChaldeansH3778, you will 11not succeedH6743”’?”

6And JeremiahH3414 saidH559, “The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 7‘BeholdH2009, HanamelH2601 the sonH1121 of ShallumH7967 your uncleH1730 is comingH935 to you, sayingH559, “BuyH7069 for yourself my fieldH7704 whichH834 is at 12AnathothH6068, for you have the 13rightH4941 of redemptionH1353 to buyH7069 it.”’ 8Then HanamelH2601 my uncle’sH1730 sonH1121 cameH935 to me in the 14courtH2691 of the guardH4307 according to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 and saidH559 to me, ‘BuyH7069 my fieldH7704, pleaseH4994, that is at 15AnathothH6068, whichH834 is in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144; for you have the rightH4941 of possessionH3425 and the redemptionH1353 is yours; buyH7069 it for yourself.’ Then I knewH3045 that thisH1931 was the 16wordH1697 of the LordH3068.

9“I boughtH7069 the fieldH7704 whichH834 was at AnathothH6068 from HanamelH2601 my uncle’sH1730 sonH1121, and I 17weighedH8254 out the silverH3701 for him, seventeenH7651H6235 18shekelsH8255 of silverH3701. 10I 1920signedH3789 and 21sealedH2856 the deedH5612, and 22calledH5749 in witnessesH5707, and weighedH8254 out the silverH3701 on the scalesH3976. 11Then I tookH3947 the deedsH5612 of purchaseH4736, both the sealedH2856 copy containing the 23termsH4687 and conditionsH2706 and the openH1540 copy; 12and I gaveH5414 the deedH5612 of purchaseH4736 to 24BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of 25NeriahH5374, the sonH1121 of MahseiahH4271, in the sightH5869 of HanamelH2601 my uncle’sH1730 son and in the sightH5869 of the witnessesH5707 who signedH3789 the deedH5612 of purchaseH4736, beforeH5869 allH3605 the JewsH3064 who were sittingH3427 in the courtH2691 of the guardH4307. 13And I commandedH6680 BaruchH1263 in their presenceH5869, sayingH559, 14‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “TakeH3947 theseH428 deedsH5612, thisH2088 sealedH2856 deedH5612 of purchaseH4736 and thisH2088 openH1540 deedH5612, and putH5414 them in an earthenwareH2789 jarH3627, that they may 26lastH5975 a longH7227 timeH3117.” 15For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “27HousesH1004 and fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754 will againH5750 be boughtH7069 in thisH2088 landH776.”’
