Jeremiah 32:9–15

9 So I bought the field in Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel, and I weighed out the silver to hims —seventeen shekelsA of silver. 10 I recorded it on a scroll,t sealed it, called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales. 11 I took the purchase agreement—the sealed copy with its terms and conditions and the open copy—12 and gave the purchase agreement to Baruchu son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah. I did this in the sight of my cousinB Hanamel, the witnesses who had signed the purchase agreement, and all the Judeans sitting in the guard’s courtyard.

13 “I charged Baruch in their sight, 14 ‘This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: Take these scrolls—this purchase agreement with the sealed copy and this open copy—and put them in an earthen storage jar so they will last a long time. 15 For this is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land.’v
