Jehovah used this transaction symbolically in order to reinforce his promise that the Israelites would return to reclaim their inheritance of the land after a period of exile in Babylon. ​ — Jeremiah 32: 13 - 15.
Jehoova kasutas seda tehingut sümbolina, et kinnitada iisraellastele oma lubadust, mille kohaselt nad võivad pärast Babüloni vangipõlve oma maad tagasi saada.
