Study Notes — Jeremiah 32:14
Show Verse Quote Highlights
Context — Jeremiah Buys Hanamel’s Field
12and I gave this deed to Baruch son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of my cousin Hanamel and the witnesses who were signing the purchase agreement and all the Jews sitting in the courtyard of the guard.
13In their sight I instructed Baruch,
14“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Take these deeds—both the sealed copy and the open copy of the deed of purchase—and put them in a clay jar to preserve them for a long time.
15For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land.” 16After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD:Jeremiah 32:14 Summary
In Jeremiah 32:14, God tells Jeremiah to put the deeds in a clay jar to keep them safe for a long time. This is a reminder that God is faithful and will keep His promises, just like He said in Jeremiah 29:11. God wants us to trust Him and have faith in His plans, even when we don't understand what's happening, as encouraged in Romans 8:28. By obeying God and trusting in His goodness, we can demonstrate our faith and trust in Him, just like Jeremiah did.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did God instruct Jeremiah to put the deeds in a clay jar?
God instructed Jeremiah to put the deeds in a clay jar to preserve them for a long time, as a symbol of His faithfulness and promise to restore the land, as seen in Jeremiah 32:14 and reinforced in Jeremiah 31:38, which speaks of the future restoration of Israel.
What is the significance of the sealed and open copies of the deed?
The sealed and open copies of the deed, as mentioned in Jeremiah 32:14, represent the formal and public nature of the transaction, similar to the practice described in Deuteronomy 24:1-4, where a sealed copy was kept for official records and an open copy was for public knowledge.
How does this verse relate to the concept of faith and trust in God?
This verse, Jeremiah 32:14, demonstrates Jeremiah's obedience to God's command, even in the face of uncertainty, exemplifying the kind of faith and trust encouraged in Hebrews 11:1, where faith is defined as the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
What can we learn from Jeremiah's actions in this verse about our own relationship with God?
Jeremiah's actions in Jeremiah 32:14 teach us about the importance of obedience and trust in God's plans, as also emphasized in Proverbs 3:5-6, which encourages us to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding.

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 32:14
Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel,.... The order to do the following is ushered in in this solemn manner, partly that Baruch might more strictly observe it, and act according to it; and partly
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 32:14
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.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 32:14
Jeremiah 32:14 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.Ver. 14. That they may continue many days.] Even beyond the seventy years of captivity, and then be produced again.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 32:14
(14) Put them in an earthen vessel . . .—We are reminded of the “earthen vessels” in which men kept their most precious treasures (2 Corinthians 4:7). Such a vessel was obviously a better protection against damp or decay than one of wood, and was, as it were, the “safe” of a Jewish household. (See Note on Jeremiah 41:8.) In the “many days” we have an implied warning to the listeners that they were not to expect a speedy deliverance or restoration, however certain might be their assurance that it would come at last.
