Contextual Overview

1 This is the word that came to Yirmeyahu from Adonai in the tenth year of Tzidkiyahu king of Y'hudah, which was the eighteenth year of N'vukhadretzar. 2 At that time the army of the king of Bavel was besieging Yerushalayim; and Yirmeyahu the prophet was imprisoned in the guards' quarters attached to the king of Y'hudah's palace, 3 where Tzidkiyahu king of Y'hudah had imprisoned him after demanding, "How dare you prophesy that Adonai says, ‘I will hand this city over to the king of Bavel, and he will capture it; 4 Tzidkiyahu king of Y'hudah will not escape from the Kasdim but will certainly be handed over to the king of Bavel, who will address him face to face, with their eyes meeting; 5 and he will lead Tzidkiyahu to Bavel, where he will stay until I remember him,' says Adonai , ‘and even if you fight the Kasdim, you will fail'?" 6 Yirmeyahu said, "This word of Adonai came to me: 7 ‘Hanam'el, the son of your uncle Shalum, will approach you and say, "Buy my field at ‘Anatot; you have next-of-kin's right to redeem it; so buy it."'" 8 As Adonai had said, my cousin Hanam'el came to me in the guards' quarters and said, "Please buy my field at ‘Anatot, in the territory of Binyamin; because you will inherit it, and you have next-of-kin's right to redeem it, so buy it for yourself." Then I was certain that this was Adonai 's word. 9 So I bought the field at ‘Anatot which belonged to my cousin Hanam'el and weighed out the money for him, seven ounces of silver shekels. 10 I signed on the purchase contract, sealed it, called witnesses and weighed out the money for him on a balance scale.
