Yirmeyah 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.

1 5 The Davar which came unto Yirmeyah from Hashem in the days of Y’hoyakim Ben Yoshiyah Melech Yehudah, saying,

2 Go unto the Bais of the Rechavim, and speak unto them, and bring them into the Beis Hashem, into one of the leshakhot (side rooms), and give them yayin to drink.

3 Then I took Ya’azanyah Ben Yirmeyah Ben Chavatzinyah, and his brethren, and all his banim, and kol Bais Rechavim;

4 And I brought them into the Beis Hashem, into the lishkah (room) of the Bnei Chanan Ben Yigdalyahu, an Ish HaElohim, which was by the lishkah of the sarim, which was above the lishkah of Ma’aseiyah Ben Shallum, the Shomer HaSaf (Gatekeeper);

5 And I set before the Bnei Bais Rechavim bowls full of yayin, and kosot (cups), and I said unto them, Drink ye yayin.
