Jeremiah 32:10 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 32:1-15

It appears by the date of this chapter that we are now coming very nigh to that fatal year which completed the desolations of Judah and Jerusalem by the Chaldeans. God's judgments came gradually upon them, but, they not meeting him by repentance in the way of his judgments, he proceeded in his controversy till all was laid waste, which was in the eleventh year of Zedekiah; now what is here recorded happened in the tenth. The king of Babylon's army had now invested Jerusalem and was carrying on... read more

And I subscribed the evidence ,.... Or, "wrote in a book" F21 ואכתב בספר "et scripsi in libro", V. L. Munster, Pagninus, Montanus; "in libello", Cocceius. ; the instrument or bill of sale, the deed of purchase; which described the field sold, and expressed the condition on which the purchase was made; and by subscribing it he agreed to it, and laid himself under obligation to perform it: and sealed it ; for the further confirmation of it: and took witnesses ; to be... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:10

I subscribed the evidence - We have here all the circumstances of this legal act: An offer is made of the reversion of the ground, till the jubilee, to him who would then of right come into possession. The price is agreed on, and the silver weighed in the balances. A contract or deed of sale is drawn up, to which both parties agreeing, Witnesses are brought forward to see it signed and sealed; for the contract was both subscribed and sealed. A duplicate of the deed was drawn,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:10

Verse 10 It may now be asked, how could Hanameel, who was of the Levitical order, sell a field, for we know that fields did not belong to the Levites, and that they had tithes for their inheritance. (Numbers 18:21) But this is to be taken for a suburban field, for they had the suburbs, and each had a meadow: they neither ploughed nor reaped, nor was it indeed lawful for them, according to the law, to labor in agriculture, but they fed cattle and sheep: and this is proved by the smallness of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:1-44

A story of God's sustaining grace. This whole chapter may be summed up under some such heading as this. For it begins with showing us God's servant Jeremiah in a position in which he sorely needed sustaining grace, and then it proceeds to narrate the threefold process by which this grace was communicated to him. The manner in which God sustained Jeremiah is very much akin to that in which he will sustain all his servants who may be in similar need. If any be so now, let them give heed to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:6-15

Purchasing by Divine command. The passage a locus classicus for various questions and formalities connected with the Mosaic Law. Abraham bought a field for his dead; Jeremiah bought one for a nation yet unborn. If no other circumstance had been recorded concerning the latter, this alone would entitle him to be enrolled amongst the fathers of the faithful. I. GOD 'S SERVANTS ARE SOMETIMES CALLED TO PERFORM STRANGE AND SINGULAR ACTIONS . The prophet bidden to... read more

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
