evidence which is open
Jeremiah 32:14
32:14 evidence which is open. The evidence of ownership (title deed) was in the form of a scroll describing the property and the transaction, with the owner’s name and property description written on both the outside of the scroll and, under seal, on the inside as well. The seal could be broken and the property claimed only by the owner whose name was on the outside. Compare Revelation 5:1-10.
