Jeremiah 32:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ ‘Hanamel, the son of your uncle Shallum, will come to visit you. He will say to you, “I want you to buy my field in Anathoth. The law says that I should offer it to you first, because you are my relative.” ’

⁸ This happened as the Lord had said it would happen. My cousin Hanamel came to visit me in the prison. He said, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin's tribe. I offer it to you first, as my relative. So you can buy it for yourself.’

When this happened, I realized I had really heard the Lord's message. ⁹ So I bought the field at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel. I weighed 17 shekels of silver to pay him for it.
