‘ Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying,“ Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.”’”“ So Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to Yahweh’s word, and said to me,‘ Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours. Buy it for yourself.’“ Then I knew that this was Yahweh’s word.I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.I signed the deed, sealed it, called witnesses, and weighed the money in the balances to him.So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.

“‘ If your brother becomes poor, and sells some of his possessions, then his kinsman who is next to him shall come, and redeem that which his brother has sold.If a man has no one to redeem it, and he becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it,then let him reckon the years since its sale, and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return to his property.But if he isn’t able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee. In the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his property.“‘ If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it has been sold. For a full year he shall have the right of redemption.

Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.

You have said to me, Lord Yahweh,‘ Buy the field for money, and call witnesses;’ whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”
