Jeremiah 32:6-15

6Jeremiah said, “The word of the Lord came to me: 7Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you and say, aBuy my field that is at bAnathoth, cfor the right of redemption by purchase is yours.’ 8Then Hanamel my cousin came to me in dthe court of the guard, in accordance with the word of the Lord, and said to me, ‘Buy my field that is at eAnathoth in the land of Benjamin, for the right of possession and redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.

9“And I bought the field at fAnathoth from Hanamel my cousin, and gweighed out the money to him, seventeen shekels of silver. 10 hI signed the deed, isealed it, jgot witnesses, and kweighed the money on scales. 11Then I took the sealed deed of purchase, containing the terms and conditions and the open copy. 12And I gave the deed of purchase to lBaruch the son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my cousin, in the presence of mthe witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, and in the presence of all the Judeans who were sitting in nthe court of the guard. 13I charged oBaruch in their presence, saying, 14Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, both this sealed deed of purchase and this open deed, and put them in an earthenware vessel, that they may last for a long time. 15For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and pfields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.’
