Bible. Jeremiah
24:031:039 And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon
the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.
24:031:040 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and
all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of
the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD;
it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.
24:032:001 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year
of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of
Nebuchadrezzar.
24:032:002 For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and
Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison,
which was in the king of Judah's house.
24:032:003 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore
dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I
will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and
he shall take it;
24:032:004 And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of
the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of
the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth,
and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
24:032:005 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be
until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the
Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.
24:032:006 And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
24:032:007 Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come
unto thee saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for
the right of redemption is thine to buy it.
24:032:008 So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the
prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me,
Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in
the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is
thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I
knew that this was the word of the LORD.
24:032:009 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that was in
Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of
silver.
24:032:010 And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took
witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
24:032:011 So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was
sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was
open:
24:032:012 And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of
Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine
uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that
subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that
sat in the court of the prison.
