Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 32:9

_ _ seventeen shekels of silver — As the shekel was only fifty cents, the whole would be under $10, a rather small sum, even taking into account the fact of the Chaldean occupation of the land, and the uncertainty of the time when it might come to Jeremiah or his heirs. Perhaps the “seven shekels,” which in the Hebrew (see Margin) are distinguished from the “ten pieces of silver,” were shekels of gold [Maurer].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 32:1-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 32:9

The money — The price of land was strangely fallen at this time, when the enemy was besieging the chief city of the country.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 32:9

And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that [was] in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, [even] seventeen (f) shekels of silver.

(f) Which amounts to about ten shillings six pence in our money if this shekel were the common shekel, See Genesis 23:15, for the shekel of the temple was of double value, and ten pieces of silver were half a shekel, for twenty made the shekel.
