Jeremiah 35:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 35:3

The Obedient Rechabites

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,

2 “Go to the house of the ^aRechabites, speak to them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, into one of ^bthe chambers, and give them wine to drink.”

3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, his brothers and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites,

4 and I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, ^athe keeper of the door.

5 Then I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, “Drink wine.”

6 But they said, “We will drink no wine, for ^aJonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, ‘You shall drink ^bno wine, you nor your sons, forever.

7 You shall not build a house, sow seed, plant a vineyard, nor have any of these; but all your days you shall dwell in tents, ^athat you may live many days in the land where you are sojourners.’
