Jeremiah 32:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

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 son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of my cousin Hanamel and the witnesses who were signing the purchase agreement and all the Jews sitting in the courtyard of the guard.

13 In their sight I instructed Baruch,

14 “This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Take these deeds—both the sealed copy and the open copy of the deed of purchase—and put them in a clay jar to preserve them for a long time.
