b'This part of the text may be a little confusing, so let me give a little historical context. The Babylonian siege began after King Zedekiah had been in office for nine years. This siege was lifted for a small window of time when the troops caught word that an Egyptian army was approaching. During this break, Zedekiah arrested Jeremiah because he was encouraging the men of Judah to surrender, but God commanded Jeremiah to tell them to do exactly that, to surrender. During this time, the Lord sends Jeremiah\\u2019s cousin to sell Him property, and at the Lord\\u2019s direction, Jeremiah buys it. Confused about the transaction, Jeremiah turns to the Lord for clarity.'
