Notes

Jeremiah 32:6–8

Anathoth was the hometown of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:1).
According to Hebrew law, Jeremiah's cousin had to offer the land first to his closest relative (see Leviticus 25:25, 32; Ruth 4:1–4).

Jeremiah 30:1–33:26

People often call these four chapters "The Book of Consolation," a highlight in Old Testament revelation. Unlike the many judgment messages Jeremiah gave his people, these messages are full of hope and promise a wonderful future restoration.
