Jeremiah 32:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 ¶ And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
7 Behold, Hanamel, the son of Shallum thine uncle, shall come unto thee and say, [a]Buy unto thee my field, that is in Anathoth: for the [b]title by kindred appertaineth unto thee [c]to buy it.
8 So Hanamel 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 [d]field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of the possession is thine, and the purchase belongeth unto thee: buy it for thee. Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.
