I thought I should bring the matter to your attention and suggest that you buy it in the presence of these seated here and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, do so. But if you will not, tell me, so I will know. For no one has the right to do it except you, and I am next in line.”“ I will redeem it,” he said.

I thought I should bring the matter to your attention. I suggest that you buy the land. Buy it while those sitting here and the elders of my people are looking on as witnesses. If you are willing to buy it back, do it. But if you aren’t, tell me. Then I’ll know. No one has the right to buy it back except you. And I’m next in line.”“ I’ll buy it,” he said.

So I thought I would tell you of it and say,‘ Buy it in the presence of those sitting here and in the presence of the elders of my people.’ If you will redeem it, redeem it. But if you will not, tell me, that I may know, for there is no one besides you to redeem it, and I come after you.” And he said,“ I will redeem it.”

I thought I should speak to you about it so that you can redeem it if you wish. If you want the land, then buy it here in the presence of these witnesses. But if you don’t want it, let me know right away, because I am next in line to redeem it after you.” The man replied,“ All right, I’ll redeem it.”

I thought I should inform you: Buy it back in the presence of those seated here and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you want to redeem it, do it. But if you do not want to redeem it, tell me so that I will know, because there isn’t anyone other than you to redeem it, and I am next after you.”“ I want to redeem it,” he answered.

So I thought that I would inform you, saying,‘ Buy it before those who are sitting here, and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if not, tell me so that I may know; for there is no one except you to redeem it, and I am after you.’ ” And he said,“ I will redeem it.”

And I thought to inform you, saying,‘ Buy it back in the presence of the inhabitants and the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am next after you.’” And he said,“ I will redeem it.”

and I thought to disclose it unto thee, saying, Buy it before them that sit here, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem it besides thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.

And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy[ it] before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem[ it], redeem[ it]: but if thou wilt not redeem[ it, then] tell me, that I may know: for[ there is] none to redeem[ it] beside thee; and I[ am] after thee. And he said, I will redeem[ it].

So I am legally informing you: Acquire it before those sitting here and before the leaders of my people! If you want to exercise your right to redeem it, then do so. But if not, then tell me so I will know. For you possess the first option to redeem it; I am next in line after you.” He replied,“ I will redeem it.”

I thought I should tell you, saying,‘ Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people.’ If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know. For there is no one to redeem it besides you; and I am after you.” He said,“ I will redeem it.”

Watch! Hanamel, the son of your uncle Shallum, is coming to you to say,‘ Buy my field in Anathoth for yourself, for you own the right of redemption to buy it.’“ Then my cousin Hanamel came to the guard’s courtyard as the Lord had said and urged me,‘ Please buy my field in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for you own the right of inheritance and redemption. Buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.So I bought the field in Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel, and I weighed out to him the money— 17 shekels of silver.I recorded it on a scroll, sealed it, called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver in the scales.I took the purchase agreement— the sealed copy with its terms and conditions and the open copy—and gave the purchase agreement to Baruch son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah. I did this in the sight of my cousin Hanamel, the witnesses who were signing the purchase agreement, and all the Judeans sitting in the guard’s courtyard.

If your brother becomes destitute and sells part of his property, his nearest relative may come and redeem what his brother has sold.If a man has no family redeemer, but he prospers and obtains enough to redeem his land,he may calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man he sold it to, and return to his property.But if he cannot obtain enough to repay him, what he sold will remain in the possession of its purchaser until the Year of Jubilee. It is to be released at the Jubilee, so that he may return to his property.“ If a man sells a residence in a walled city, his right of redemption will last until a year has passed after its sale; his right of redemption will last a year.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Try to do what is honorable in everyone’s eyes.

Yet You, Lord God, have said to me: Buy the field with silver and call in witnesses— even though the city has been handed over to the Chaldeans!”

Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable— if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise— dwell on these things.

Abraham’s possession in the presence of all the Hittites who came to the gate of his city.

For we are making provision for what is right, not only before the Lord but also before men.
