Jeremiah 35:1-5

1The Lord spoke his word to Jeremiah during the reign of Jehoiakim, son of King Josiah of Judah. He said,

2“Go to the family of Rechab and talk to them. Take them into one of the side rooms in the Lord’s temple, and offer them a drink of wine.”

3I took Jaazaniah, who was the son of Jeremiah and the grandson of Habazziniah, and I took Jaazaniah’s brothers and all his sons—the whole family of Rechab.

4I brought them into the Lord’s temple, into the side room of the sons of Hanan. (He was Igdaliah’s son, the man of God.) It was next to the room of the officials and above the side room of Maaseiah, Shallum’s son, the doorkeeper.

5Then I set cups and pitchers filled with wine in front of the family of Rechab. I said to them, “Drink some wine.”
