8. Then, just as the Lord had said, Hanamel came to me there in the courtyard and asked me to buy the field. So I knew that the Lord had really spoken to me.
9. I bought the field from Hanamel and weighed out the money to him; the price came to seventeen pieces of silver.
10. I signed and sealed the deed, had it witnessed, and weighed out the money on scales.
11. Then I took both copies of the deed of purchase — the sealed copy containing the contract and its conditions, and the open copy —
12. and gave them to Baruch, the son of Neriah and grandson of Mahseiah. I gave them to him in the presence of Hanamel and of the witnesses who had signed the deed of purchase and of the people who were sitting in the courtyard.
