Jeremiah 32:6-9

Common English Bible

⁶ Jeremiah said, The Lord’s word came to me: ⁷ Your cousin Hanamel, Shallum’s son, is on his way to see you; and when he arrives, he will tell you: “Buy my field in Anathoth, for by law you are next in line to purchase it.” ⁸ And just as the Lord had said, my cousin Hanamel showed up at the prison quarters and told me, “Buy my field in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for you are next in line and have a family obligation to purchase it.” Then I was sure this was the Lord’s doing.

⁹ So I bought the field in Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel, and weighed out for him seventeen shekels of silver.
