Jeremiah 32:9-15
New American Standard Bible
9 “So I bought the field which was in Anathoth from Hanamel my uncle’s son, and I (A)weighed out the silver for him, seventeen (B)shekels of silver. 10 And I [a](C)signed and (D)sealed the deed, and (E)called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales. 11 Then I took the deeds of purchase, both the sealed copy containing the (F)terms and conditions and the open copy; 12 and I gave the deed of purchase to (G)Baruch the son of (H)Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanamel my uncle’s son and in the sight of the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, in the sight of all the Jews who were sitting in the courtyard of the guard. 13 And I commanded Baruch in their sight, saying, 14 ‘This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Take these deeds, this sealed deed of purchase and this open deed, and put them in an earthenware jar, so that they may [b]last a long time.” 15 For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “(I)Houses and fields and vineyards will again be purchased in this land.”’

Jeremiah 32:9-15
New International Version
9 so I bought the field(A) at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel and weighed out for him seventeen shekels[a] of silver.(B) 10 I signed and sealed the deed,(C) had it witnessed,(D) and weighed out the silver on the scales. 11 I took the deed of purchase—the sealed copy containing the terms and conditions, as well as the unsealed copy— 12 and I gave this deed to Baruch(E) son of Neriah,(F) the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of my cousin Hanamel and of the witnesses who had signed the deed and of all the Jews sitting in the courtyard of the guard.
13 “In their presence I gave Baruch these instructions: 14 ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Take these documents, both the sealed(G) and unsealed copies of the deed of purchase, and put them in a clay jar so they will last a long time. 15 For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields and vineyards will again be bought in this land.’(H)
