耶利米书 32:14 CUVS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 32:10-14

Jeremiah 32:10-14 . I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it I wrote down an account of the transaction in a book. The method it appears then in use among the Jews when any purchase was made was, that the purchaser, as well as those who sold, testified his consent by some writing signed before witnesses. I took the evidence, both that which was sealed and that which was open The open, or unsealed writing, was either a copy of the sealed one, or else a certificate of the witnesses, in... 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

Jeremiah’s purchase of land 32:1-15This was another of Jeremiah’s symbolic acts (cf. Jeremiah 16:1-4; Jeremiah 18:1-12; Jeremiah 19:1-2; Jeremiah 19:10-11; Jeremiah 27:1 to Jeremiah 28:17; Jeremiah 43:8-13; Jeremiah 51:59-64). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 32:13-15

Jeremiah instructed Baruch to store the documents in an earthenware jar, so they would last a long time. These jars were undoubtedly similar to the ones in which the Dead Sea Scrolls were preserved and discovered two millennia later, still in fairly good condition. The jars were usually sealed with pitch. The Lord had revealed to Jeremiah that the Israelites would again buy and sell land in Judah. In spite of the imminent captivity, they would return to the land and resume life as usual... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:1-44

This chapter forms the introduction to the most continuously historical part of the book, which describes incidents in the two years preceding the final destruction of Jerusalem, viz. chs.34-43. The first of these incidents is here given, viz. Jeremiah’s purchase with all legal formality of a field of which he had the right of redemption, in order to encourage the people while the Chaldeans were investing the city by showing thus his faith in the return which he foretells in these chs.1-5. The... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 32:14

(14) Put them in an earthen vessel . . .—We are reminded of the “earthen vessels” in which men kept their most precious treasures (2 Corinthians 4:7). Such a vessel was obviously a better protection against damp or decay than one of wood, and was, as it were, the “safe” of a Jewish household. (See Note on Jeremiah 41:8.) In the “many days” we have an implied warning to the listeners that they were not to expect a speedy deliverance or restoration, however certain might be their assurance that... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 32:1-44

Evidences Sealed and Evidences Open Jeremiah 32:14 The placing of the deeds in an earthen vessel or vase was of course peculiar to this case. It was intended to preserve them from damp and decay in their secret hiding-place during the long years of the captivity, as Jerusalem ere many months would be destroyed by the King of Babylon. I. Consider this mode of the authentication of purchase of property as an illustration of one of the evidences of the truth of the Word of God. One of the great... read more
