⁷ Lo, Hanameel son of Shallum, thine uncle, is coming unto thee, saying, Buy for thee my field that `is' in Anathoth, for thine `is' the right of redemption -- to buy.

¹ Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who `are' in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin,

²¹ Therefore, thus said Jehovah concerning the men of Anathoth, who are seeking thy life, saying: Do not prophesy in the name of Jehovah, And thou dost not die by our hands.

²⁵ `When thy brother becometh poor, and hath sold his possession, then hath his redeemer who is near unto him come, and he hath redeemed the sold thing of his brother;

¹³ And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith to them, `Go ye away to the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water, follow him;

¹⁴ and wherever he may go in, say ye to the master of the house -- The Teacher saith, Where is the guest-chamber, where the passover, with my disciples, I may eat?

¹⁵ and he will shew you a large upper room, furnished, prepared -- there make ready for us.'

¹⁶ And his disciples went forth, and came to the city, and found as he said to them, and they made ready the passover.

² and saith to them, `Go away to the village that is over-against you, and immediately, entering into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which no one of men hath sat, having loosed it, bring `it':

³ and if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.'

⁴ And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door without, by the two ways, and they loose it,

⁵ and certain of those standing there said to them, `What do ye -- loosing the colt?'

⁶ and they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered them.

⁵ And Jehovah said unto Ahijah, `Lo, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to seek a word from thee concerning her son, for he is sick; thus and thus thou dost speak unto her, and it cometh to pass at her coming in, that she is making herself strange.'

³ And he saith to the redeemer, `A portion of the field which `is' to our brother, to Elimelech, hath Naomi sold, who hath come back from the fields of Moab;

⁴ and I said, I uncover thine ear, saying, Buy before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people; if thou dost redeem -- redeem, and if none doth redeem -- declare to me, and I know, for there is none save thee to redeem, and I after thee.' And he saith, I redeem `it'.'

⁵ And Boaz saith, `In the day of thy buying the field from the hand of Naomi, then from Ruth the Moabitess, wife of the dead, thou hast bought `it', to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance.'

⁶ And the redeemer saith, `I am not able to redeem `it' for myself, lest I destroy mine inheritance; redeem for thyself -- thou -- my right of redemption, for I am not able to redeem.'

⁷ And this `is' formerly in Israel for redemption and for changing, to establish anything: a man hath drawn off his sandal, and given `it' to his neighbour, and this `is' the testimony in Israel.

⁸ And the redeemer saith to Boaz, `Buy `it' for thyself,' and draweth off his sandal.

⁹ And Boaz saith to the elders, and `to' all the people, `Witnesses `are' ye to-day that I have bought all that `is' to Elimelech, and all that `is' to Chilion and Mahlon, from the hand of Naomi;

¹⁸ Anathoth and its suburbs, and Almon and its suburbs -- four cities;

¹⁹ all the cities of the sons of Aaron the priests, `are' thirteen cities and their suburbs.

² `Command the sons of Israel, and they have given to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to inhabit; also a suburb for the cities round about them ye do give to the Levites.

⁴⁹ or his uncle, or a son of his uncle, doth redeem him, or any of the relations of his flesh, of his family, doth redeem him, or -- his own hand hath attained -- then he hath been redeemed.

³⁴ And a field, a suburb of their cities, is not sold; for a possession age-during it `is' to them.

²³ `And the land is not sold -- to extinction, for the land `is' Mine, for sojourners and settlers `are' ye with Me;
