8. Hanamel came, just as the Lord had promised. And he said, “Please buy my field near Anathoth in the territory of the Benjamin tribe. You have the right to buy it, and if you do, it will stay in our family.”The Lord had told me to buy it
9. from Hanamel, and so I did. The price was seventeen pieces of silver, and I weighed out the full amount on a scale.
12. And while he, the witnesses, and all the other Jews sitting in the courtyard were still watching, I gave both copies to Baruch son of Neriah.
15. I am the Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, and I promise you that people will once again buy and sell houses, farms, and vineyards in this country.
16. Then I prayed:
17. Lord God, you stretched out your mighty arm and made the sky and the earth. You can do anything.
