Redemption and Restoration The purchase symbolizes the future redemption and restoration of Israel, reminding us of God's redemptive work through Christ.(11) Both that which was sealed . . . and that which was open.--We are left to conjecture why there were two documents, and why one was sealed and the other open. Possibly, as in modern transactions, one was simply a duplicate copy of the other, the sealed document being the formal evidence of purchase kept by the buyer, and the other left with the vendor for reference. The more probable explanation, however, is that the unsealed document, which the witnesses did not subscribe or see, contained details which did not concern the witnesses, the price paid (though the mention of the witnesses before the weighing of the money militates against this view), the conditions of resumption by the vendor, possibly some reference to the period of seventy years, at the end of which, and not before, the heirs of Jeremiah might expect to enter on possession. According to the law and custom.--Better, to wit, the agreement and the conditions. The whole transaction may be compared, as an example of ancient conveyancing, with the transfer of the field and cave of Machpelah in Genesis 23 Hebrew Then I tookוָאֶקַּ֖ח (wā·’eq·qaḥ) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - first person common singular Strong's 3947: To take the deed סֵ֣פֶר (sê·p̄er) Noun - masculine singular construct Strong's 5612: A missive, document, writing, book of purchase— הַמִּקְנָ֑ה (ham·miq·nāh) Article | Noun - feminine singular Strong's 4736: A buying, acquisition, a piece of property, the sum paid the sealed הֶֽחָת֛וּם (he·ḥā·ṯūm) Article | Verb - Qal - QalPassParticiple - masculine singular Strong's 2856: To seal, affix a seal, seal up copy with its terms הַמִּצְוָ֥ה (ham·miṣ·wāh) Article | Noun - feminine singular Strong's 4687: Commandment and conditions, וְהַחֻקִּ֖ים (wə·ha·ḥuq·qîm) Conjunctive waw, Article | Noun - masculine plural Strong's 2706: Something prescribed or owed, a statute as well as וְאֶת־ (wə·’eṯ-) Conjunctive waw | Direct object marker Strong's 853: Untranslatable mark of the accusative case the open copy— הַגָּלֽוּי׃ (hag·gā·lui) Article | Verb - Qal - QalPassParticiple - masculine singular Strong's 1540: To denude, to exile, to reveal Links Jeremiah 32:11 NIVJeremiah 32:11 NLT Jeremiah 32:11 ESV Jeremiah 32:11 NASB Jeremiah 32:11 KJV Jeremiah 32:11 BibleApps.com Jeremiah 32:11 Biblia Paralela Jeremiah 32:11 Chinese Bible Jeremiah 32:11 French Bible Jeremiah 32:11 Catholic Bible OT Prophets: Jeremiah 32:11 So I took the deed (Jer.) |
