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 The 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."

3 I 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.

4 I 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.

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