Jeremiah 32:6-9

New International Reader's Version

⁶ Jeremiah said, “A message from the Lord came to me. The Lord said, ⁷ ‘Hanamel is going to come to you. He is the son of your uncle Shallum. Hanamel will say, “Buy my field at Anathoth. You are my closest relative. So it’s your right and duty to buy it.” ’

⁸ “Then my cousin Hanamel came to me. I was in the courtyard of the guard. It happened just as the Lord had said it would. Hanamel said, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth. It is in the territory of Benjamin. It is your right to buy it and own it. So buy it for yourself.’

“I knew that this was the Lord’s message. ⁹ So I bought the field at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel. I weighed out seven ounces of silver for him.
