Context — The Obedience of the Rechabites
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.
5Then I set pitchers full of wine and some cups before the men of the house of the Rechabites, and I said to them, “Drink some wine.”
6“We do not drink wine,” they replied, “for our forefather Jonadab son of Rechab commanded us, ‘Neither you nor your descendants are ever to drink wine. 7Nor are you ever to build a house or sow seed or plant a vineyard. Those things are not for you. Instead, you must live in tents all your lives, so that you may live a long time in the land where you wander.’Cross References

Jeremiah 35:5 Summary
In Jeremiah 35:5, the prophet Jeremiah is testing the Rechabites to see if they will obey their family's traditional commands. He offers them wine, but they refuse to drink it because their forefather Jonadab son of Rechab had commanded them not to (as seen in Jeremiah 35:6). This shows that the Rechabites were committed to obeying God's commands and honoring their family's traditions, just like we are called to obey God's commands in Deuteronomy 11:1 and Jeremiah 7:23. By obeying God's commands, we can demonstrate our love and loyalty to Him, just like the Rechabites demonstrated their loyalty to their family's commands.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the Rechabites in Jeremiah 35:5?
The Rechabites were a family who had been commanded by their forefather Jonadab son of Rechab not to drink wine, as seen in Jeremiah 35:6, and their obedience to this command is being tested by the prophet Jeremiah in Jeremiah 35:5.
Why did Jeremiah offer wine to the Rechabites in Jeremiah 35:5?
Jeremiah offered wine to the Rechabites to test their obedience to their family's traditional commands, as stated in Jeremiah 35:6, and to illustrate their commitment to their faith, similar to the testing of Abraham's faith in Genesis 22:1-14.
What can we learn from the Rechabites' response to Jeremiah's offer of wine in Jeremiah 35:5?
The Rechabites' refusal to drink wine in Jeremiah 35:6 demonstrates their loyalty to their family's traditions and their commitment to obeying God's commands, as seen in Deuteronomy 5:16 and Exodus 20:12, which teaches us about the importance of honoring our parents and our heritage.
How does Jeremiah 35:5 relate to the broader theme of obedience in the Bible?
Jeremiah 35:5 is part of a larger narrative about obedience to God's commands, as seen in verses like Jeremiah 7:23 and Deuteronomy 11:1, which emphasizes the importance of following God's instructions in order to receive His blessings and live a life that is pleasing to Him.
Reflection Questions
- What are some commands or traditions that I have been taught to follow, and how can I demonstrate my obedience to them like the Rechabites did?
- In what ways can I show loyalty to my family and my faith, just like the Rechabites showed loyalty to their family's commands?
- How can I apply the principle of obedience to God's commands in my own life, just as the Rechabites applied their family's commands to their lives?
- What are some ways that I can test my own commitment to my faith, just like Jeremiah tested the Rechabites' commitment to their family's commands?

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 35:5
Jeremiah 35:5 And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine.Ver. 5. Drink ye wine.] It was a double temptation unto them: 1. To have pots and cups of wine set before them; 2. To be bid drink it by a prophet, and at prophet’ s chamber. But they were resolved, in obedience to their father Jonadab, to forbear. Yet if Jeremiah had said, Thus saith the Lord, Drink wine, they ought to have done it; but this he did not.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 35:5
Verse 5. Pots full of wine, and cups] The cups were to draw the wine out of the pots, in order to drink it.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 35:5
5. bowls] large vessels, from which drinking cups were filled.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 35:5
Pots - “Bowls,” to fill the cups.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 35:5
5. Pots — Bowls or large goblets, out of which the drinking cups were filled.
