Jeremiah 32:6-15

6And Jeremiah said, “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, 7‘Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle is coming to you, saying, “Buy for yourself my field which is at 1Anathoth, for you have the 2right of redemption to buy it.”’ 8Then my uncle’s son Hanamel came to me in the 3courtyard of the guard in accordance with the word of the Lord and said to me, ‘Buy my field, please, that is at 4Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for you have the right of possession and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the 5word of the Lord.

9“So I bought the field which was in Anathoth from Hanamel my uncle’s son, and I 6weighed out the silver for him, seventeen 7shekels of silver. 10And I 89signed and 10sealed the deed, and 11called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales. 11Then I took the deeds of purchase, both the sealed copy containing the 12terms and conditions and the open copy; 12and I gave the deed of purchase to 13Baruch the son of 14Neriah, 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, in the sight of all the Jews who were sitting in the courtyard of the guard. 13And I commanded Baruch in their sight, saying, 14‘This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Take these deeds, this sealed deed of purchase and this open deed, and put them in an earthenware jar, so that they may 15last a long time.” 15For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “16Houses and fields and vineyards will again be purchased in this land.”’
