Scripture focus

So Hanameel mine uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that [is] in Anathoth, which [is] in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance [is] thine, and the redemption [is] thine; buy [it] for thyself. Then I knew that this [was] the word of the LORD.

Commentary on Jeremiah 32:8

Theological / Devotional

Buy it for thyself. Hanameel’s field was probably already under the control of the armies that were then besieging Jerusalem (see on v. 2). This alone was sufficient to induce Hanameel to sell his field. In addition, it may be that Hanameel felt that, because of Jeremiah’s urging to submit to Nebuchadnezzar, there would be a strong likelihood that the Chaldeans would protect the prophet and his interests.
