“You’re going to get a visit from your cousin, Hanamel,” God told Jeremiah. He needs to sell his field near your hometown, Anathoth. Make the purchase, with the town elders as witnesses.” Although, Jeremiah was being confined, by the king, in the Courtyard of the Guard, to prevent him from encouraging people to surrender to the Babylonians, God assured him that in the future captives would be returned and the land would be restored. Jeremiah completed the transaction and the deed of purchase was placed into a clay jar to preserve it for the future. [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Jeremiah 32:1-44]
