Jeremiah 32 Summary
Purchase of the Field in Siege
While Jerusalem is besieged and Jeremiah is imprisoned, his uncle offers to sell him a field. Jeremiah buys it as a sign that houses, fields, and vineyards will be possessed again after captivity. Though the city falls to Babylon, God promises He will gather the people from exile and give them one heart to fear Him forever with an everlasting covenant.
