The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:6-15

A parable of redemption. For the sake of variety and interest, it is lawful now and then to make the transactions of earth tell of the transactions of heaven; to make prosaic matters of fact—as the redeeming of this field—parables of spiritual realities. Let us so deal with this narrative. Here was— I. A POSSESSION IN AN ENEMY 'S POWER . The field, as the whole land virtually was so at that very moment. So man. II. THE LORD PROMPTING REDEMPTION . Jeremiah knew... read more

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 32:10-14

The Authorized Version is here so far wrong, on technical terms, that it seems best to retranslate the whole passage: "And I wrote (the circumstances) in the deed, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed the money in the balance. And I took the purchase deed, that which was sealed (containing the offer and the conditions), and that which was open; and I gave the purchase deed unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah (rather, Makhseiah), in the sight of Hanameel my uncle, and... read more

Translate: And I wrote the particulars of the purchase in the deed ... And I took the purchase-deed, both that which was sealed containing the oiler and the conditions, and that which was open etc. There were two indentures, of which one was called the purchase-deed, and was signed by the purchaser and the witnesses. It was then sealed, not in our sense of appending a seal in place of signatures, but to close it up. The open deed was probably an exact copy, and was that intended for common use.... read more

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

11. evidence . . . sealed . . . open—Two deeds were drawn up in a contract of sale; the one, the original copy, witnessed and sealed with the public seal; the other not so, but open, and therefore less authoritative, being but a copy. GATAKER thinks that the purchaser sealed the one with his own seal; the other he showed to witnesses that they might write their names on the back of it and know the contents; and that some details, for example, the conditions and time of redemption were in the... read more
