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 When Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king of Judah, the Lord spoke his word to Jeremiah, saying:

2 "Go to the family of Recab. Invite them to come to one of the side rooms of the Temple of the Lord, and offer them wine to drink."

3 So I went to get Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah. And I gathered all of Jaazaniah's brothers and sons and the whole family of the Recabites together.

4 Then I brought them into the Temple of the Lord. We went into the room of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, who was a man of God. The room was next to the one where the officers stay and above the room of Maaseiah son of Shallum, the doorkeeper in the Temple.

5 Then I put some bowls full of wine and some cups before the men of the Recabite family. And I said to them, "Drink some wine."
