Jeremiah 32:12 — Meaning and Application

And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed {it}, and took witnesses, and weighed {him} the money in the balances. {subscribed...: Heb. wrote in the book}

So I took the evidence of the purchase, {both} that which was sealed {according} to the law and custom, and that which was open:

And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's {son}, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.

And I charged Baruch before them, saying,

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
