Jeremiah 32:8-10
Easy-to-Read Version
8 “Then it happened just as the Lord said. My cousin Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guard. Hanamel said to me, ‘Jeremiah, buy my field near the town of Anathoth, in the land of the tribe of Benjamin. Buy that land for yourself because it is your right to buy it and own it.’”
So I knew that this was a message from the Lord. 9 I bought the field at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel. I weighed out 17 shekels[a] of silver for him. 10 I signed the deed and had a copy of the deed sealed up.[b] I got some men to witness what I had done, and I weighed out the silver on the scales.
