The Rechabites’ Obedience1 The word° which° came° to Jeremiah° from the LORD° in the days° of aJehoiakim° the son° of Josiah°, king° of Judah°, saying°, 2 “Go° to the house° of the aRechabites° and speak° to them, and bring° them into the house° of the LORD°, into one° of the bchambers°, and give° them wine° to drink°.” 3 Then I took° Jaazaniah° the son° of Jeremiah°, son° of Habazziniah°, and 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°, the aman° of God°, which° was near° the chamber° of the officials°, which° was above°° the chamber° of Maaseiah° the son° of Shallum°, bthe doorkeeper°°. 5 Then I set° before° the Imen° of the house° of the Rechabites° pitchers° full° of wine° and cups°; and I said° to them, “aDrink° wine°!” 6 But they said°, “We will not drink° wine°, for aJonadab° the son° of bRechab°, our father°, commanded° us, saying°, ‘You shall cnot drink° wine°, you or your sons°, forever°°. 7 You shall not build° a house°, and you shall not sow° seed° and you shall not plant° a vineyard° or own° one; but in atents° you shall dwell° all° your days°, that you may live° bmany° days° in the land° where°° you csojourn°.’ 8 We have aobeyed° the voice° of Jonadab° the son° of Rechab°, our father°, in all° that he commanded° us, not to drink° wine° all° our days°, we, our wives°, our sons° or our daughters°, 9 nor° to build° ourselves houses° to dwell° in; and we ado not have° vineyard° or field° or seed°. 10 We have only adwelt° in tents°, and have obeyed° and have done° according to all° that bJonadab° our father° commanded° us. 11 But when aNebuchadnezzar° king° of Babylon° came° up against° the land°, we said°, ‘Come° and let us bgo° to Jerusalem° before°° the army° of the Chaldeans° and before°° the army° of the Arameans°.’ So we have dwelt° in Jerusalem°.” [1] a2K 23:34-36; 24:1; 2Ch 36:5-7; Jr 1:3; 27:20; Dn 1:1

By the obedience of the Rechabites,1 ¶ The wordº which² came² unto² Jeremiahº from²² the LORDº in the daysº of Jehoiakimº the sonº of Josiahº kingº of Judah,º saying,ºª 2 Goºª unto² the houseº of the Rechabites,º and speak¹ª unto² them, and bringºª them into the houseº of the LORD,º into² oneº of the chambers,º and give them wineº to drink.ºª 3 Then I tookºª² Jaazaniahº the sonº of Jeremiah,º the sonº of Habaziniah,º and his brethren,º and all² his sons,º and the whole² houseº of the Rechabites;º 4 And I broughtºª them into the houseº of the LORD,º into² the chamberº of the sonsº of Hanan,º the sonº of Igdaliah,º a manº of God,º which² [was] byº the chamberº of the princes,º which² [was] aboveº² the chamberº of Maaseiahº the sonº of Shallum,º the keeperºª of the door:º 5 And I setºª beforeº the sonsº of the houseº of the Rechabitesº potsº fullº of wine,º and cups,º and I saidºª unto² them, Drinkºª ye wine.º 6 But they said,ºª We will drinkºª no² wine:º for² Jonadabº the sonº of Rechabº our fatherº commandedºª² us, saying,ºª Ye shall drinkºª no² wine,º [neither ye],² nor your sonsº for¹ ever:º² 7 Neither² shall ye buildºª house,º nor² sowºª seed,º nor² plantºª vineyard,º nor² have² [any]: but² all² your daysº ye shall dwellºª in tents;º that² ye may liveºª manyº daysº inº² the landº where²² ye² [be] strangers.ºª 8 Thus have we obeyedºª the voiceº of Jonadabº the sonº of Rechabº our fatherº in all² that² he hath chargedºª us, to drinkºª no² wineº all² our days,º we,² our wives,º our sons,º nor our daughters;º 9 Nor² to buildºª housesº for us to dwell² in:¹ª neither² have² we vineyard,º nor field,º nor seed:º 10 But we have dwelt² in¹ª tents,º and have obeyed,ºª and doneºª according to all² that² Jonadabº our fatherº commandedºª us. 11 But it came to pass,² when Nebuchadrezzarº kingº of Babylonº came upºª into² the land,º that we said,ºª Come,ºª and let us goºª to Jerusalemº for fearº² of the armyº of the Chaldeans,º and for fearº² of the armyº of the Syrians:º so we dwellºª at Jerusalem.º [1] 2K 23:35; 24:1; 2Ch 36:5; Jr 1:3; 22:13; 25:1; 26:1; 36:1, 9, 29; 46:2; Dn 1:1.
