Jeremiah 32:9-14

9So I bought the field that was in Anathoth from the son of my uncle Hanamel, and weighed him the money—seventeen shekels of silver.

10I signed and sealed the deed, called in witnesses, and weighed the money on the scales.

11Then I took the purchase deed, both the sealed copy, containing the terms and conditions, and the open copy,

12and I gave the purchase deed to Baruch son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the presence of my uncle’s son Hanamel and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the purchase deed, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the guard.

13Then I charged Baruch before them, saying,

14thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot, the God of Israel, “Take these deeds—this purchase deed, both the sealed copy and the open copy—and put them in a clay jar, so they may last many days.”
