7 Behold! Hanamel (God is gracious), the son of your uncle Shallum (retribution), is coming to you to say, ‘Buy for yourself my field in Anathoth (answers to prayer), for you have the right of redemption to buy it.’ 8 Then, as the LORD {YHWH} had said, my cousin Hanamel (God is gracious) came to me in the courtyard of the guard and urged me, ‘Please buy my field in Anathoth (answers to prayer) in the land of Benjamin (son of the right hand), for you own the right of inheritance and redemption. Buy it for yourself.’” Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD. 9 So I bought the field in Anathoth (answers to prayer) from my cousin Hanamel (God is gracious), and I weighed out seventeen shekels of silver <6.8 oz / 193.8 g>. 10 I signed and sealed the deed, called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales. 11 Then I took the deed of purchase—the sealed copy with its terms and conditions, as well as the open copy— 12 and I gave this deed to Baruch (blessed) son of Neriah (lamp of YHWH), the son of Mahseiah (YHWH is a shelter), in the sight of my cousin Hanamel (God is gracious) and the witnesses who were signing the purchase agreement and all the Jews sitting in the courtyard of the guard.
