Jeremiah 32:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ Jeremiah said [^Cwhile still in prison], “The Lord spoke this word to me: ⁷ Hanamel, son of your uncle Shallum, will come to you soon. Hanamel will say to you, ‘Buy my field near the town of Anathoth [^CJeremiah’s hometown; 1:1]. It is your right and your duty to buy that field [^Cbecause he is a near relative; Lev. 25:23–25].’

⁸ “Then it happened just as the Lord had said. ·My cousin [^LThe son of my uncle] Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guard and said to me, ‘Buy for yourself my field near Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. It is your right and duty to buy it and own it.’ So I knew this was a ·message [^Lword] from the Lord.
