Jérémie 32:8

8 Et Hanaméel, fils de mon oncle, vint vers moi, selon la parole de l'Éternel, dans la cour de la prison, et il me dit: Achète, je te prie, mon champ qui est à Anathoth, au pays de Benjamin, car tu as le droit d'héritage et de rachat; achète-le. Et je connus que c'était la parole de l'Éternel.

Jérémie 32:8 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 32:8

So Hanameel mine uncle's son came unto me
Freely and voluntarily, of his own accord; though it was determined he should, as it was predicted he would; for God's decrees do not infringe the liberty of the will: this man came from Anathoth, very probably, to Jerusalem, to the place where the prophet was: in the court of the prison, according to the word of the Lord;
which had been made known before to Jeremiah: and said unto me, buy my field, I pray thee, that [is] in Anathoth,
which [is] in the country of Benjamin;
it belonged to that tribe: for the right of inheritance [is] thine;
the reversion of this field; it would come to him after the death of his cousin, as being next heir: and the redemption [is] thine; buy [it] for thyself;
since, if it was sold to another, he, according to law, was obliged to redeem it; and therefore it was much better to buy it at once for himself: then I knew that this [was] the word of the Lord;
that it was the word of the Lord which came to him before, and that it was the will of the Lord that he should make this purchase; since there was such an exact agreement between the prophecy and the event.

Jérémie 32:8 In-Context

6 Alors Jérémie dit: La parole de l'Éternel m'a été adressée en ces termes:
7 Voici Hanaméel, fils de Shallum, ton oncle, qui vient vers toi pour te dire: Achète mon champ qui est à Anathoth; car tu as le droit de rachat pour l'acquérir.
8 Et Hanaméel, fils de mon oncle, vint vers moi, selon la parole de l'Éternel, dans la cour de la prison, et il me dit: Achète, je te prie, mon champ qui est à Anathoth, au pays de Benjamin, car tu as le droit d'héritage et de rachat; achète-le. Et je connus que c'était la parole de l'Éternel.
9 Ainsi j'achetai de Hanaméel, fils de mon oncle, le champ d'Anathoth, et je lui pesai l'argent: dix-sept sicles d'argent.
10 Puis j'écrivis un contrat, que je cachetai; et je pris des témoins et pesai l'argent dans la balance.
