Jeremiah 32:13 In-Context

11 Then I took both copies of the deed of purchase - the sealed copy containing the contract and its conditions, and the open copy -
12 and gave them to Baruch, the son of Neriah and grandson of Mahseiah. I gave them to him in the presence of Hanamel and of the witnesses who had signed the deed of purchase and of the people who were sitting in the courtyard.
13 Before them all I said to Baruch,
14 "The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, has ordered you to take these deeds, both the sealed deed of purchase and the open copy, and to place them in a clay jar, so that they may be preserved for years to come.
15 The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, has said that houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land."
