And Jeremiah said, The Word of Jehovah was to me saying,

Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum, your uncle, shall come to you, saying, Buy my field in Anathoth for yourself, for the right to redeem is yours, to buy it .

So Hanameel, my uncle's son, came to me in the court of the guard, according to the Word of Jehovah, and said to me, Please buy my field in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for theright of inheritance is yours, andthe right of redemption is yours. Buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the Word of Jehovah.

And I bought the field in Anathoth from my uncle's son, Hanameel, and weighed him the silver, seventeen shekels of silver.

And I wrote it in the document, and sealed it , and called witnesses, and weighed the silver on the scales.

So I took the document of the purchase, that which was sealed according to the law and the statutes, and the open copy.

And I gave the purchase document to Baruch the son of Neriah the son of Maaseiah, before the eyes of my uncle's son, Hanameel, and before the eyes of the witnesses who wrote in the purchase document before the eyes of all the Jews who sat inthe court of the guard.
