STEPBible TIPNR
The father of Hilkiah is mentioned in Jer 32:7 as the father of the prophet Jeremiah's cousin. Hilkiah approached Jeremiah with an offer to buy a field in Anathoth, their ancestral town, as a matter of right of redemption. This incident occurred during the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem, and the purchase of the field served as a symbolic act of hope and trust in God's promise of future restoration for the people of Judah.
