Jeremiah 35:3 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 35:3

Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of
Habaziniah
Who was, no doubt, the most famous and leading man in this family: and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the
Rechabites;
the several branches of the family, especially the males; the women perhaps only excepted; whom it might not be so decent to gather together on such an occasion, to drink wine; or at least offer it to them.

Jeremiah 35:3 In-Context

1 Jeremiah received the LORD's word during the rule of Judah's King Jehoiakim, Josiah's son:
2 Go to the Rechabite family and invite them to come to one of the rooms of the LORD's temple. When they arrive, offer them some wine to drink.
3 So I took Jaazaniah, Jeremiah's son and Habazziniah's grandson, and his brothers and all his sons, and the whole Rechabite family.
4 I brought them to the room in the LORD's temple assigned to the sons of Hanan, Igdaliah's son, the man of God. The room was next to the one used by the chief officers and right above the room of Maaseiah, Shallum's son, the temple doorkeeper.
5 Then I set bowls full of wine before the Rechabites, along with several cups, and I said to them, "Have some."
