Jeremiah 35:1-7

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.’
