John Gill Commentary Jeremiah 32:10

"And I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances." — Jeremiah 32:10 (ASV)

And I subscribed the evidence
Or, "wrote in a book" ^F21 ; the instrument or bill of sale, the deed of purchase; which described the field sold, and expressed the condition on which the purchase was made; and by subscribing it he agreed to it, and laid himself under obligation to perform it: and sealed [it] ;
for the further confirmation of it: and took witnesses ;
to be present at the payment of the money, and to sign the deed likewise: and weighed [him] the money in the balances ;
this he did a second time; he weighed it first before Hanameel himself, and then before the witnesses; everything was done fairly, and with great exactness.
