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 Message that Jeremiah received from God ten years earlier, during the time of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Israel:
2 "Go visit the Recabite community. Invite them to meet with you in one of the rooms in God's Temple. And serve them wine."
3 So I went and got Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah, along with all his brothers and sons - the whole community of the Recabites as it turned out -
4 and brought them to God's Temple and to the meeting room of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God. It was next to the meeting room of the Temple officials and just over the apartment of Maaseiah son of Shallum, who was in charge of Temple affairs.
5 Then I set out chalices and pitchers of wine for the Recabites and said, "A toast! Drink up!"
