Jeremiah 32:6-11

While Jeremiah was in prison, he said, “The LORD spoke this word to me: Your cousin Hanamel, son of your uncle Shallum, will come to you soon. Hanamel will say to you, ‘Jeremiah, you are my nearest relative, so buy my field near the town of Anathoth. It is your right and your duty to buy that field.’ “Then it happened just as the LORD had said. My cousin Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guard and said to me, ‘Buy for yourself my field near Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. It is your right and duty to buy it and own it.’ So I knew this was a message from the LORD. “I bought the field at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel, weighing out seven ounces of silver for him. I signed the record and sealed it and had some people witness it. I also weighed out the silver on the scales. Then I took both copies of the record of ownership—the one that was sealed that had the demands and limits of ownership, and the one that was not sealed.
