Jeremia 35:14

Det Norsk Bibelselskap

Jonadabs, Rekabs sønns bud er blitt holdt, de som han gav sine barn, at de ikke skulde drikke vin, og like til denne dag har de ikke drukket vin, men lydt sin fars bud. Og jeg har talt til eder tidlig og sent, men I har ikke adlydt mig.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed,.... That article particularly, respecting drinking wine, has been carefully observed; which, though so agreeable to the nature of man, what cheers the heart of God and man, and was not prohibited them by any law of God; yet, being forbidden by their father, they abstained from it:

for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment; though prescribed them three hundred years ago; during all which time they had punctually observed it, even to that very day; which might with great truth and strictness be said; since they had that very day refused to drink any:

notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early, and speaking; who am the eternal God; the King of kings; the great Lawgiver, able to save and to destroy; who had spoken to them, and given them laws as soon as they were a people, very early, in the times of Moses, on Mount Sinai and Horeb; and of which they had been reminded time after time, and enforced by proper arguments and motives; whereas the command of Jonadab was that of a mere man, not above three hundred years ago, and of which his posterity had never been put in mind, but as it was handed down from father to son; and this they constantly observed:

but ye hearkened not unto me; so that their disobedience was greatly aggravated.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Are performed - Are established, i. e., are maintained in full force.

Unto this day - i. e., for more than 200 years.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 35:14. The words of Jonadab - are performed - but ye hearkened not unto me. — The Lord, knowing the fidelity of this people, chose to try them in this way, that he might, by their conscientious obedience to the precepts of their forefathers, show the Jews, to their confusion, their ingratitude to him, and their neglect of his precepts, which if a man do, he shall live by them.
