son of Shallum thine uncle--therefore, Jeremiah's first cousin.
field . . . in Anathoth--a sacerdotal city: and so having one thousand cubits of suburban fields outside the wall attached to it (Num 35:4-5). The prohibition to sell these suburban fields (Lev 25:34) applied merely to their alienating them from Levites to another tribe; so that this chapter does not contravene that prohibition. Besides, what is here meant is only the purchase of the use of the field till the year of jubilee. On the failure of the owner, the next of kin had the right of redeeming it (Lev 25:25, &c.; Rut 4:3-6). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Hanameel was strictly the first-cousin of Jeremiah. In Hebrew all the terms of relationship are used in a more loose way than with us. |

| The right of redemption is thine - The law had established that the estates of a family should never be alienated. If, therefore, a man through poverty was obliged to sell his patrimony, the nearest relative had a right to purchase it before all others, and even to redeem it, if it had been sold to another. This is what is called the right of goel, or kinsman, Lev 25:25. And in the year of jubilee the whole reverted to its ancient master Lev 25:13. |
3 And he said [0559] unto the kinsman [01350], Naomi [05281], that is come again [07725] out of the country [07704] of Moab [04124], selleth [04376] a parcel [02513] of land [07704], which was our brother [0251] Elimelech's [0458]:
4 And I thought [0559] to advertise [01540] [0241] thee, saying [0559], Buy [07069] it before the inhabitants [03427], and before the elders [02205] of my people [05971]. If thou wilt redeem [01350] it, redeem [01350] it: but if thou wilt not redeem [01350] it, then tell [05046] me, that I may know [03045]: for there is none to redeem [01350] it beside [02108] thee; and I am after [0310] thee. And he said [0559], I will redeem [01350] it.
5 Then said [0559] Boaz [01162], What day [03117] thou buyest [07069] the field [07704] of the hand [03027] of Naomi [05281], thou must buy [07069] it also of Ruth [07327] the Moabitess [04125], the wife [0802] of the dead [04191], to raise up [06965] the name [08034] of the dead [04191] upon his inheritance [05159].
6 And the kinsman [01350] said [0559], I cannot [03201] redeem [01350] it for myself, lest I mar [07843] mine own inheritance [05159]: redeem [01350] thou my right [01353] to thyself; for I cannot [03201] redeem [01350] it.
25 If thy brother [0251] be waxen poor [04134], and hath sold [04376] away some of his possession [0272], and if any of his kin [07138] come [0935] to redeem [01350] it, then shall he redeem [01350] that which his brother [0251] sold [04465].
34 But the field [07704] of the suburbs [04054] of their cities [05892] may not be sold [04376]; for it is their perpetual [05769] possession [0272].
4 And the suburbs [04054] of the cities [05892], which ye shall give [05414] unto the Levites [03881], shall reach from the wall [07023] of the city [05892] and outward [02351] a thousand [0505] cubits [0520] round about [05439].
5 And ye shall measure [04058] from without [02351] the city [05892] on the east [06924] side [06285] two thousand [0505] cubits [0520], and on the south [05045] side [06285] two thousand [0505] cubits [0520], and on the west [03220] side [06285] two thousand [0505] cubits [0520], and on the north [06828] side [06285] two thousand [0505] cubits [0520]; and the city [05892] shall be in the midst [08432]: this shall be to them the suburbs [04054] of the cities [05892].
13 In the year [08141] of this jubile [03104] ye shall return [07725] every man [0376] unto his possession [0272].
25 If thy brother [0251] be waxen poor [04134], and hath sold [04376] away some of his possession [0272], and if any of his kin [07138] come [0935] to redeem [01350] it, then shall he redeem [01350] that which his brother [0251] sold [04465].
