Yirmeyahu 32:6-14 ירמיהו ל״ב:ו׳-י״ד

And Yirmeyahu said, The word of the Lord has come to me, saying,

Behold, Ḥanam᾽el the son of Shallum thy uncle shall come to thee, saying, Buy my field that is in ῾Anatot: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.

So Ḥanam᾽el my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of the Lord, and said to me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in ῾Anatot, which is in the country of Binyamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.

And I bought the field from Ḥanam᾽el my uncle’s son, that was in ῾Anatot, and weighed him the money, seventeen shekels of silver.

And I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed the money in the balances.

So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and which was open:

and I gave the deed of the purchase to Barukh the son of Neriyya, the son of Meĥaseya, in the sight of Ḥanam᾽el my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the men of Yehuda that sat in the court of the guard.

And I charged Barukh before them, saying,

Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Yisra᾽el; Take these documents, this deed of the purchase, both that which is sealed, and this open deed; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may last for many days.
