RF JER 35:1 Jeremiah Ordered to Visit the Rekabites.
The command that came from the EVER-LIVING to Jeremiah in the days of Jhoiakim-ben-Joshiah, king of Judah, saying:
RF JER 35:2 "Go to the family of the Rekabites, and talk with them, and bring them to the House of the EVER-LIVING, to one of the chambers, and offer them wine to drink."
RF JER 35:3 I consequently took Jazaniah-ben-Jeremiah-ben-Kabaziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole family of the Rekabites,
RF JER 35:4 and led them to the House of the EVER-LIVING, to the chamber of the son of Hanan-ben-Igdaliah, the Man of GOD, who lodged in the chambers of the officers, which were above the chamber of Masiah-ben-Shalum the Warder of the Threshold.
RF JER 35:5 Then I set before the sons of the family of the Rekabites flagons full of wine, and cups and asked them to drink wine.
RF JER 35:6 But they replied, "We drink no wine! for Jonadab-ben-Rekab, our ancestor, gave us an order, saying, 'You or your children shall not drink wine for ever!
RF JER 35:7 Nor shall you build houses or sow grain, or, plant vineyards. That shall not be your business. But you shall live in tents all your days;—so that you may live long lives on the face of the ground where you are strangers!
RF JER 35:8 So we are obedient to the voice of Jonadab-ben-Rekab our ancestor, in all that he ordered us,—never drinking wine all our days, we, or our wives, or our sons and daughters;
RF JER 35:9 and we never build houses to dwell in, or plant vineyards, or farms. We have them not!
RF JER 35:10 But we dwell in tents, and listen to, and do all that Jonadab our ancestor ordered.
RF JER 35:11 But when Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel, advanced into the country we said 'Let us go to Jerusalem before the army of the Kasdim.' So we lodge in Jerusalem."
RF JER 35:12 Then the command of the EVER-LIVING came to Jeremiah to say:
RF JER 35:13 "Thus says the LORD OF HOSTS, the GOD of Israel! Go and say to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,—' Why will you not learn to listen to My commands?' the EVER-LIVING asks.
RF JER 35:14 The commands of Jonadab-ben-Rekab that he ordered to his sons not to drink wine,—stand! They drink no wine to this day! For they obey the order of their ancestor! But I commanded you,—beginning early and speaking,—but you have not obeyed Me!
RF JER 35:15 I also sent you all My servants the Preachers,—rising early and sending to say, 'Turn I pray, each from his bad way, and reflect upon your proceedings, and follow not seducing gods, to serve them;—and stay on the ground I gave to you and your ancestors,'—but you would not incline your ears, and would not listen to Me!
RF JER 35:16 Although the sons of Jonadab-ben-Rekab established the orders which their ancestor commanded, yet this People will not listen to Me.
RF JER 35:17 Therefore," thus says the EVER-LIVING GOD OF HOSTS, the GOD of Israel;—"I will bring upon Judah, and all the population of Jerusalem, all the miseries that I have promised them,—because I spoke to them and they would not hear, and I called, but they would not answer!"
RF JER 35:18 But to the House of the Rekabites Jeremiah said, "Thus says the LORD OF HOSTS, the GOD of Israel:—Because you have obeyed all the orders of Jonadab, your ancestor, and have kept all his commands, and practiced all that he commanded you,—
RF JER 35:19 thus says the LORD OF HOSTS, the GOD of Israel,—there shall not be wanting a man to Jonadab-ben-Rekab to stand before Me for all time!"
