Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:1-15

1-15 Jeremiah, being in prison for his prophecy, purchased a piece of ground. This was to signify, that though Jerusalem was besieged, and the whole country likely to be laid waste, yet the time would come, when houses, and fields, and vineyards, should be again possessed. It concerns ministers to make it appear that they believe what they preach to others. And it is good to manage even our worldly affairs in faith; to do common business with reference to the providence and promise of God. read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 32:1-15

B. THE ELEVENTH DISCOURSEJeremiah 32-33With An Appendix (Jeremiah 34:1-7)The thirty-third chapter contains a revelation of somewhat later date than Jeremiah 32:0. In Jeremiah 33:1 it is expressly stated that the contents of this chapter were communicated to the prophet separately, and subsequently to the revelation contained in Jeremiah 32:0. The word second (שֵׁנִית) Jeremiah 33:1, however, designates this chapter as the second part or continuation of Jeremiah 32:0, which also accords with its... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 32:1-44

The next of the prophecies of hope consists of the account of Jeremiah's purchase of a field in Anathoth, with the interpretation of the suggestiveness of the action. While he was still in prison through the opposition of Zedekiah, the word of the Lord came to him, informing him of the coming of Hanamel his cousin, requesting him to buy a field in Anathoth. Knowing that this was the will of God, he purchased the field, and declared in the presence of witnesses that his purchase was a sign that... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:1-5

Jeremiah Is Shut Up In Prison For Prophesying That Jerusalem Will Be Taken By Nebuchadrezzar (Jeremiah 32:1-5 ). The scene now shifts from the rebuilding of the new Jerusalem to the time of the siege of the old Jerusalem, with the enemy camped around the city, and its people within being slowly starved into submission. All could look out over the walls and see the Babylonian siege engines and siege mounds, and all the related activity connected with the besieging of a city. This was relieved... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 32:5

Here the cause of the prophet’s imprisonment is expressed. The things were true which Jeremiah prophesied, and fulfilled, Jeremiah 39:5-7, and Jeremiah could not forbear speaking them, because he was sent of God upon the errand, Jeremiah 34:2,Jeremiah 34:3; yet the king and court could not bear his words. There shall he be until I visit him, saith the Lord: interpreters are divided whether the visitation here mentioned were a visitation of judgment, and the same with until he die; or of mercy:... read more
