Contextual Overview

1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, - in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah saying: 2 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them into the house of Yahweh, into one of the chambers, - and give them, wine, to drink. 3 So I took Jaazaniah, son of Jeremiah son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, - and all the house of the Rechabites; 4 and brought them into the house of Yahweh, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God, - which was beside the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum keeper of the porch; 5 and I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups, - and said unto them Drink ye wine. 6 Then said they, - We will not drink wine, - for Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, laid command upon us, saying, Ye shall not drink wine, ye, nor your sons, unto times age-abiding; 7 nor house, shall ye build nor, seed, shall ye sow, nor vineyard, shall ye plant, neither shall ye have them, - but in tents, shall ye dwell, all your days, that ye may live many days on the face of the soil where ye are sojourning. 8 So we have hearkened unto the voice of Jonadab, son of Rechab, our father, in all that be commanded us, - not to drink wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons nor our daughters; 9 and not to bud houses for us to dwell in, - and so, vineyard or field or seed, have we none; 10 but we have dwelt in tents, - and have hearkened and done, according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
