You may translate this as indirect speech. Alternate translation: "Jeremiah said that the word of Yahweh had come to him and told him that Hanamel son of Shallum his uncle was coming to him and would tellhim to buy his uncle's field that was in Anathoth for himself, for the right to buy it belonged to Jeremiah" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations]])
This idiom is used to introduce a special message from God. See how you translated it in [Jeremiah 1:4](../01/04.md). Alternate translation: "Yahweh gave me a message. He said, 'Look" or "Yahweh spoke this message to me: 'Look" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
