Jeremiah 35:4-7

Jeremiah 35:4-7 TPT

I brought them all to the temple of YAHWEH and into the room where the disciples of the prophet Hanan son of Igdaliah stayed. The room was next to that of the temple officials, directly above the room of Maaseiah son of Shallum, the keeper of the temple entrance. Then I set before the Rechabites pitchers full of wine with some cups and said, “Here, have some wine.” But they replied, “We don’t drink wine because our ancestor Jonadab son of Rechab made a rule that we must obey. He insisted that we and our descendants must never drink wine, build houses for ourselves, or plant crops or vineyards. He told us, ‘You must always live in tents as resident aliens so that you may live long in the land.’
