Yirmiyahu (Jeremiah) — Perek 32

While imprisoned during the siege, Yirmiyahu buys a field in Anatot as a sign of future hope.

Yerushalayim is under siege and Yirmiyahu is imprisoned in the court of the guard. Hashem instructs him to buy a field in Anatot from his cousin Chanamel, weighing out the silver and sealing the deed. This seemingly foolish real estate transaction acts as a powerful prophecy: 'Houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.'

• Yirmiyahu's imprisonment during the siege
• The purchase of the field from Chanamel
• Yirmiyahu's prayer of confusion and faith
• Hashem's promise of future restoration
