Context

The Obedience of the Rechabites

²“Go to the house of the Rechabites, speak to them, and bring them to one of the chambers of the house of the LORD to offer them a drink of wine.”³So I took Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons—the entire house of the Rechabites—⁴and I brought them into the house of the LORD, to a chamber occupied by the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God. This room was near the chamber of the officials, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum the doorkeeper.

Summary

In Jeremiah 35:3, the prophet Jeremiah is instructed by the Lord to gather the Rekabites into the house of the Lord and offer them wine to drink. The Rekabites, known for their obedience to their ancestor Jonadab's command to abstain from wine, demonstrate their faithfulness by refusing to drink. This passage serves as a powerful illustration of obedience and faithfulness, contrasting the Rekabites' loyalty to their ancestor's command with the disobedience of the people of Judah to God's commands. It highlights the importance of honoring and obeying God's instructions, even in the face of societal pressures or temptations.
