Jeremiah 32:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 So Hanamel 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 [a]field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of the possession is thine, and the purchase belongeth unto thee: buy it for thee. Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.
9 And I bought the field of Hanamel, mine uncle’s son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the silver, even seven [b]shekels, and ten pieces of silver.
10 And I wrote it in the book and signed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the silver in the balances.
