"Then, in front of all of them, I told Baruch, ‘These are orders from God -of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel: Take these documents—both the sealed and the open deeds—and put them for safekeeping in a pottery jar.

Contextual Overview

1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar. 2 At that time the army of the king of Babylon was around Jerusalem. And Jeremiah the man of God was shut up in the open space of the prison, in the house of the king of Judah. 3 For King Zedekiah of Judah had shut him up, saying, "Why do you speak these things in the Lord's name? You have said, ‘This is what the Lord says: "I am giving this city to the king of Babylon, and he will take it. 4 King Zedekiah of Judah will not get away from the Babylonians. For sure he will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon. He will speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye. 5 He will take Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will be there until I visit him," says the Lord. "If you fight against the Babylonians, you will not win."'" 6 Jeremiah said, "The Word of the Lord came to me, saying, 7 ‘Hanamel, the son of your father's brother Shallum, will come to you and say, "Buy my field at Anathoth. For because of your place in the family you have the right to buy it."' 8 Then Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, came to me in the open space of the prison, as the Word of the Lord had said. And he said to me, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. For you have the right to own it. Because of your place in the family you have the right, so buy it for yourself.' Then I knew that this was the Word of the Lord. 9 So I bought the field at Anathoth from Hanamel, the son of my father's brother. And I weighed out seventeen pieces of silver for him. 10 I wrote my name and put my mark on the agreement, and called in people to watch. And I weighed the silver.
