Jeremiah 32:6-11 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. And Jeremiah said: "The word of the Lord came to me, saying:

7. Behold, Hanamel, the son of Shallum, your cousin, will come to you, saying: 'Buy for yourself my field, which is in Anathoth. For it is your right, as next of kin, to buy it.'

8. And in accord with the word of the Lord, Hanamel, the son of my uncle, came to me, to the entrance of the prison, and he said to me: 'Take possession of my field, which is in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. For the right of inheritance is yours, and as the next of kin you may possess it.' Then I understood that this was the word of the Lord.

9. And I bought the field, which is in Anathoth, from Hanamel, the son of my uncle. And I weighed out the money to him, seven small coins and ten pieces of silver.

10. And I wrote it in a book and signed it, and I summoned witnesses. And I weighed out the silver on a scale.

11. And I received the signed deed of possession, and the stipulations, and the ratifications, with the exterior seals.
