Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
32:15 Jeremiah explained the reason for his purchase: He was making an investment in the future that God had promised. Someday exiled survivors of the destruction of Judah would return, and worthless land would again become productive and valuable. Jeremiah had already predicted that the exile would last for seventy years (25:11-12; 29:10). Jeremiah’s purchase was a declaration of faith in the Lord’s plan for restoring his people.
