The word that came to Yirmeyahu from vuvh in the
tenth year of Tzidkiyahu melech of Yahudah, which was
the eighteenth year of Nevuchadnetzar.
2 For then the melech of Bavel's army besieged
Yahrushalayim: and Yirmeyahu the navi was imprisoned
in the court of the guard, which was in the melech of
Yahudah's bayit.
3 For Tzidkiyahu melech of Yahudah had imprisoned
him, saying, Why do you prophesy, and say, This says
vuvh, See, I will give this city into the hand of the melech
of Bavel, and he shall take it;
4 And Tzidkiyahu melech of Yahudah shall not escape
out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be
delivered into the hand of the melech of Bavel, and shall
speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall see his
eyes;
5 And he shall lead Tzidkiyahu to Bavel, and there shall
he be until I visit him, says vuvh: though you fight with
the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper?
6 And Yirmeyahu said, The word of vuvh came to me,
saying,
7 See, Haname-El the son of Shallum your uncle shall
come to you, saying, Buy my field that is in Anathoth: for
the right of redemption is yours to buy it.
8 So Haname-El my uncle's son came to me in the court
of the guard according to the word of vuvh, and said to
me, Buy my field, I ask you, that is in Anathoth, which is
in the country of Benyamin: for the right of inheritance is
yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.
Then I knew that this was the word of vuvh.
9 And I bought the field of Haname-El my uncle's son
that was in Anathoth, and weighed for him the silver,
even seventeen shekels of silver.
10 And I signed the deed, and sealed it, and took
witnesses, and weighed the silver in the scales.
11 So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which
was sealed according to the Torah and custom, and that
which was open:
12 And I gave the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son
of Neriyahu, the son of Maaseyah, in the sight of
Haname-El my uncle's son, and in the presence of the
witnesses that signed the deed of the purchase, before all
the Yahudim 2229 32
that sat in the court of the guard.
13 And I commanded Baruch before them, saying,
14 This says vuvh tzevaoth, the Elohim of Yisrael; Take
these deeds, this deed of the purchase, both which is
sealed, and this deed which is open; and put them in an
earthen vessel, that they may remain for many days.
15 For this says vuvh tzevaoth, the Elohim of Yisrael;
Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again
in this land.
16 Now when I had delivered the deed of the purchase to
Baruch the son of Neriyahu, I made tefillah to vuvh,
saying,
17 Ah Master vuvh! See, You have made the shamayim
and the earth by Your great power and outstretched Arm,
and there is nothing too hard for You:
18 You show loving-kindness to thousands, and You
repay the iniquity of the ahvot into the bosom of their
children after them: the Great, the Mighty El, vuvh
tzevaoth, is His Name,
YIRMEYAHU - JEREMIAH
- 326 -
19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for Your eyes
are open upon all the halachot of the sons of men: to give
every one according to his halacha, and according to the
fruit of his doings:
20 For You have set signs and wonders in the land of
Mitzrayim, even to this day, and in Yisrael, and among
other men; and have made Your Name great, even to this
day;
21 And have brought forth your people Yisrael out of the
land of Mitzrayim with signs, and with wonders, and with
a strong hand, and with an outstretched Arm, and with
great awesome deeds;
22 And have given them this land, which You did swear
to their ahvot to give them, a land flowing with milk and
honey;
23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed
not Your voice, neither had their halacha in Your Torah;
they have done nothing of all that You commanded them
to do: therefore You have caused all this evil to come
upon them:
24 See the siege mounds, they are come to the city to take
it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans,
that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the
famine, and of the pestilence: and what You have spoken
is coming to pass; and, see, you see it.
25 Yet You, O Master vuvh, have said to me, Buy the
field for silver, and take witnesses, for the city is given
into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 Then came the word of vuvh to Yirmeyahu, saying,
27 See, I am vuvh, the Elohim of all flesh: is there any
thing too hard for Me?
28 Therefore this says vuvh; See, I will give this city into
the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of
Nevuchadnetzar melech of Bavel, and he shall take it:
29 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall
come and set fire to this city, and burn it with the houses,
upon whose roofs they have offered incense to Ba’al, and
poured out drink offerings to other elohim, to provoke Me
to anger.
30 For the children of Yisrael and the children of
Yahudah 2230 have only done evil before Me from their
youth: for the children of Yisrael 2231 have only provoked
Me to anger with the work of their hands, says vuvh.
31 For this city has been to Me as a provocation of My
anger and of My wrath from the day that they built it even
to this day; so that I should remove it from before My
face,
32 Because of all the evil of the children of Yisrael and of
the children of Yahudah, 2232 which they have done to
provoke Me to anger, they, their melechim, their leaders,
their Kohanim, and their neviim, and the men of Yahudah,
and the inhabitants of Yahrushalayim.
33 And they have turned their back to Me, and not their
face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching
them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction in
Torah.
34 But they set their abominations in the Bayit, which is
called by My Name, to defile it.
35 And they built the high places of Ba’al, 2233 which are
in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to cause their sons
and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech;
which I commanded them not to do, neither came it into
My mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause
