Jeremias 32:8

8 Veio, pois, a mim Hanamel, filho de meu tio, segundo a palavra do Senhor, ao pátio da guarda, e me disse: Compra o meu campo que está em Anatote, na terra de Benjamim; porque teu é o direito de herança e teu é o de resgate; compra-o para ti. Então entendi que isto era a palavra do Senhor.

Jeremias 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.

Jeremias 32:8 In-Context

6 Disse pois Jeremias: Veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
7 Eis que Hanamel, filho de Salum, teu tio, virá a ti, dizendo: Compra o meu campo que está em Anatote, pois tens o direito de resgate; a ti compete comprá-lo.
8 Veio, pois, a mim Hanamel, filho de meu tio, segundo a palavra do Senhor, ao pátio da guarda, e me disse: Compra o meu campo que está em Anatote, na terra de Benjamim; porque teu é o direito de herança e teu é o de resgate; compra-o para ti. Então entendi que isto era a palavra do Senhor.
9 Comprei, pois, de Hanamel, filho de meu tio, o campo que está em Anatote; e pesei-lhe o dinheiro, dezessete siclos de prata.
10 Assinei a escritura e a selei, chamei testemunhas, e pesei-lhe o dinheiro numa balança.
