Jeremías 32:8

8 »En efecto, conforme a la palabra del SEÑOR, mi primo Janamel vino a verme en el patio de la guardia y me dijo: “Compra ahora mi campo que está en Anatot, en el territorio de Benjamín, ya que tú tienes el derecho y la responsabilidad de comprarlo por ser el pariente más cercano”. Entonces comprendí que esto era palabra del SEÑOR,

Jeremías 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.

Jeremías 32:8 In-Context

6 Jeremías respondió: «La palabra del SEÑOR vino a mí,

7 y me dijo: “Janamel, hijo de tu tío Salún, vendrá a pedirte que le compres el campo que está en Anatot, pues tienes el derecho y la responsabilidad de comprarlo por ser el pariente más cercano”.

8 »En efecto, conforme a la palabra del SEÑOR, mi primo Janamel vino a verme en el patio de la guardia y me dijo: “Compra ahora mi campo que está en Anatot, en el territorio de Benjamín, ya que tú tienes el derecho y la responsabilidad de comprarlo por ser el pariente más cercano”. Entonces comprendí que esto era palabra del SEÑOR,

9 y le compré a mi primo Janamel el campo de Anatot por diecisiete monedas de plata.

10 Reuní a los testigos, firmé la escritura, la sellé, y pagué el precio convenido.
