6 Jeremiah said: »The word of Jehovah came to me. He said:
7 ‘Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle is coming to you. He says: »Buy for yourself my field at Anathoth, for you have the right of redemption to buy it.’«
8 »Then Hanamel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Jehovah and said to me: ‘Buy my field, please, that is at Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin. You have the right of possession and the redemption is yours. Buy it for yourself.’ »Then I knew that this was the word of Jehovah.
9 »I bought the field at Anathoth from Hanamel my uncle's son. I weighed out the silver for him, seventeen shekels of silver.
10 »I signed and sealed the deed, and called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales.
11 »I took the deeds of purchase, both the sealed copy containing the terms and conditions and the open copy.
12 »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, before all the Jews who were sitting in the court of the guard.
13 »I commanded Baruch in their presence, saying:
14 ‘Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel says: »Take these deeds, this sealed deed of purchase and this open deed, and put them in an earthenware jar, that they may be preserved a long time.«
15 ‘Jehovah of Host, the God of Israel says: »Houses and fields and vineyards will again be bought in this land.’«
