1The wordH1697 whichH834 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 from the LordH3068 in the daysH3117 of 1JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, 2“GoH1980 to the houseH1004 of the 2RechabitesH7397 and speakH1696 to them, and bringH935 them into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, into oneH259 of the 3chambersH3957, and giveH8248 them wineH3196 to drinkH8248.” 3Then I tookH3947 JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of JeremiahH3414, sonH1121 of HabazziniahH2262, and his brothersH251 and allH3605 his sonsH1121 and the wholeH3605 houseH1004 of the RechabitesH7397, 4and I broughtH935 them into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, into the chamberH3957 of the sonsH1121 of HananH2605 the sonH1121 of IgdaliahH3012, the 4manH376 of GodH430, whichH834 was nearH681 the chamberH3957 of the officialsH8269, whichH834 was aboveH4480H4605 the chamberH3957 of MaaseiahH4641 the sonH1121 of ShallumH7967, 5the doorkeeperH8104H5592. 5Then I setH5414 beforeH6440 the 6menH1121 of the houseH1004 of the RechabitesH7397 pitchersH1375 fullH4392 of wineH3196 and cupsH3563; and I saidH559 to them, “7DrinkH8354 wineH3196!” 6But they saidH559, “We will not drinkH8354 wineH3196, for 8JonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of 9RechabH7394, our fatherH1, commandedH6680 us, sayingH559, ‘You shall 10not drinkH8354 wineH3196, you or your sonsH1121, foreverH5704H5769. 7You shall not buildH1129 a houseH1004, and you shall not sowH2232 seedH2233 and you shall not plantH5193 a vineyardH3754 or ownH1961 one; but in 11tentsH168 you shall dwellH3427 allH3605 your daysH3117, that you may liveH2421 12manyH7227 daysH3117 in the landH127 whereH834H8033 you 13sojournH1481.’ 8We have 14obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of JonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394, our fatherH1, in allH3605 that he commandedH6680 us, not to drinkH8354 wineH3196 allH3605 our daysH3117, we, our wivesH802, our sonsH1121 or our daughtersH1323, 9norH1115 to buildH1129 ourselves housesH1004 to dwellH3427 in; and we 15do not haveH1961 vineyardH3754 or fieldH7704 or seedH2233. 10We have only 16dweltH3427 in tentsH168, and have obeyedH8085 and have doneH6213 according to allH3605 that 17JonadabH3082 our fatherH1 commandedH6680 us. 11But when 18NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH5927 up againstH413 the landH776, we saidH559, ‘ComeH935 and let us 19goH935 to JerusalemH3389 beforeH4480H6440 the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 and beforeH4480H6440 the armyH2428 of the ArameansH758.’ So we have dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389.”
