Hanameel
Hanameel
(Heb. Chanamel’, , perh. i.q. Hananeel; Sept. ,Vulg. lanameel),-son of Shallum and cousin of Jeremiah, to whom, before the siege of Jerusalem, he sold a field which he possessed in Anathoth, a town of the Levites (Jer 32:6-12). If this field belonged to Hanameel as a Levite, the sale of it would imply that an ancient law had fallen into disuse (Lev 25:34); but it is possible that it may have been the property of Hanameel in right of his mother. Compare the case of Barnabas, who was also a Levite; and the note of Grotius on Act 4:37. Henderson (on Jer 32:7) supposes that a portion of the Levitical estates might be sold within the tribe. Fairbairn (s.v.) suggests that as this was a typical act, the ordinary civil rules do not apply to it. The transaction, however, was conducted with all the forms of legal transfer, at the special instance of Jehovah, and was intended to evince the certainty of restoration from the approaching exile by showing that possessions which could be established by documents would yet be of future value to the possessor (Jer 32:13-15). B.C. 589.

Hanameel
Son of Shallum, Jeremiah’s cousin, from whom the prophet in prison bought a field in Anathoth while Jerusalem was being besieged by the Chaldeans, as a token to assure the Jews that a time of security would hereafter come when their land would once more be a safe possession (Jer 32:7-12; Jer 32:44). Anathoth being a sacerdotal city with a thousand cubits of suburban fields, the land could not be alienated (Lev 25:25; Lev 25:34); but this did not prevent sales within the tribe of Levi, on the failure of the owner the next of kin could redeem the land.
