Jeremiah 35:2-10

2“GoH1980 to the houseH1004 of the 1RechabitesH7397 and speakH1696 to them, and bringH935 them into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, into oneH259 of the 2chambersH3957, and giveH8248 them wineH3196 toH8248 drinkH8248.”

3So I tookH3947 JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of JeremiahH3414, sonH1121 of HabazziniahH2262, and his brothersH251 and allH3605 his sonsH1121, and allH3605 the householdH1004 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 3manH376 of GodH430, whichH834 was nextH681 to the chamberH3957 of the officialsH8269, whichH834 was aboveH4480H4605 the chamberH3957 of MaaseiahH4641 the sonH1121 of ShallumH7967, 4the doorkeeperH8104H5592.

5Then I setH5414 beforeH6440 the 5menH1121 of the houseH1004 of the RechabitesH7397 pitchersH1375 fullH4392 of wineH3196, and cupsH3563; and I saidH559 to them, “6DrinkH8354 wineH3196!”

6But they saidH559, “We will not drinkH8354 wineH3196, for 7JonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of 8RechabH7394, our fatherH1, commandedH6680 us, sayingH559, ‘You shall 9not drinkH8354 wineH3196, you or your sonsH1121, foreverH5704H5769.

7You shall not buildH1129 a houseH1004, and you shall not sowH2232 seedH2233 nor plantH5193 a vineyardH3754, nor 10ownH1961 one; but you shall liveH3427 in 11tentsH168 allH3605 your daysH3117, soH4616 thatH4616 you may liveH2421 12manyH7227 daysH3117 13in the landH127 whereH834H8033 you 14liveH1481 asH1481 strangersH1481.’

8And we have 15obeyedH8085 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 liveH3427 in; and we 16do not haveH1961 a vineyardH3754, a fieldH7704, or seedH2233.

10But we have 17livedH3427 only in tentsH168, and have obeyedH8085 and have doneH6213 according to allH3605 that our fatherH1 18JonadabH3082 commandedH6680 us.
