エレミヤ書 32:7 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:6-15

Jeremiah showing his faith by his works. Jeremiah, as a prophet of Jehovah, had not only to utter warnings and predictions, but to show, on needful occasion, that he himself believed in them. He who would have others obey the Lord, must keep on persuading them to obedience by being prominent in obedience himself. Observe— I. HOW THE LORD PREPARES JEREMIAH AGAINST A DIFFICULTY . Hanameel, we may take it, was coming in any case with this proposition of purchase, and, but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:7

Hanameel . Another form of Hananeel; comp. γεσάμ , in the Septuagint = Goshen, ΄αδιάμ = Midian. In Jeremiah 31:38 the Authorized Version has Hananeel, and the Septuagint ἀναμεήλ (of course, the persons referred to are different). The son of Shallum thine uncle. It is strange that Hanameel should be called at once Jeremiah's uncle's son and his uncle; and yet this is the case—the former in verses 8, 9, the latter in verse 12. There is, therefore, no reason why we should... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 32:7

Hanameel was strictly the first-cousin of Jeremiah. In Hebrew all the terms of relationship are used in a more loose way than with us. read more

Jeremiah 32:6-8. The word of the Lord came unto me “Jeremiah, after having just informed us why he was put in prison, returns to his design, and tells us that God had advised him, probably in a dream or vision, that Hanameel, his cousin, should come to him with the offer of a field in Anathoth; the right of redeeming whereof was in him. Jeremiah might have given up this right, as not being in a situation to make the purchase; but, understanding from the revelation of the Lord, that this... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:1-15

Jeremiah buys a field (32:1-15)At the time of Babylon’s final siege of Jerusalem, just before the city fell, Jeremiah was imprisoned (32:1-2). The king, Zedekiah, considered Jeremiah a traitor because he forecast the defeat of the city and the captivity of the king (3-5).However, Jeremiah also forecast that the land of Judah would not be lost for ever, and that one day the people would repossess it. An opportunity now arose for Jeremiah to give practical demonstration of his faith in this... read more

7. son of Shallum thine uncle—therefore, Jeremiah's first cousin. field . . . in Anathoth—a sacerdotal city: and so having one thousand cubits of suburban fields outside the wall attached to it (Numbers 35:4; Numbers 35:5). The prohibition to sell these suburban fields (Leviticus 25:34) applied merely to their alienating them from Levites to another tribe; so that this chapter does not contravene that prohibition. Besides, what is here meant is only the purchase of the use of the field till the... read more
