Commentary on Jeremiah 32:43

Theological / Devotional

Fields shall be bought. To the despairing Israelites who felt that the Babylonians would deprive them of their land forever, the assurance was given that their descendants would again possess the fields of Judah. Jeremiah’s transaction of buying the field of Anathoth was a prophetic confirmation, as it were, of this assurance (see on v. 15).

Without man or beast. As the besieged inhabitants of Jerusalem viewed the desolation wrought by the Chaldeans upon their beloved land of Judah, they gave vent to their feelings in these vivid words. Already Jeremiah’s prediction of desolation to come upon the land (ch. 4:25; see on ch. 4:20, 23) was fulfilled before the eyes of the people.
