And Jeremiah said, - The word of Yahweh came unto me saying:

Lo! Hanameel son of Shallum thine uncle, hath come unto thee saying, - Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth, for, thine, is the right of redemption to buy it.

So Hanameel son of mine uncle, came unto me, according to the word of Yahweh into the guard-court, and said unto me, Buy, I pray thee my field that is in Anathoth which is in the land of Benjamin, for, thine, is the right of inheritance, and, thine, the redemption, - buy it for thyself. So I knew, that the word of Yahweh, it was.

And I bought the field from Hanameel son of mine uncle that was in Anathoth, - and weighed him the silver, seventeen shekels, was the silver;

and I wrote in the scroll and sealed it, and took in attestation witnesses, - and weighed the silver in the balances.

Then took I the scroll of purchase, both that which was sealed - the title and the conditions - and that which was open;

and gave the scroll of purchase unto Baruch son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle‘s son , and in the sight of the witnesses who subscribed the scroll of purchase, - in the sight of all the Jews who were sitting in the guard-court.
