And Jeremiah said, "The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

'Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle is coming to you, saying, "Buy for yourself my field which is at Anathoth, for you have the right of redemption to buy it."'

Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.

"Then my uncle's son Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guard in accordance with the word of the LORD and said to me, 'Buy my field, please, that is at Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for you have the right of possession and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.' Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.

So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord , and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: 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 .

"So I bought the field which was in Anathoth from Hanamel my uncle's son, and I weighed out the silver for him, seventeen shekels of silver.

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

"And I signed and sealed the deed, and called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales.

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

"Then I took the deeds of purchase, both the sealed copy containing the terms and conditions and the open copy;

So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open:

and I gave the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanamel my uncle's son and in the sight of the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, in the sight of all the Jews who were sitting in the courtyard of the guard.

And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
