Hosts Israel Jeremiah Word
Jeremiah 35
1. By the obedience of the Rechabites,
12. Jeremiah condemns the disobedience of the Jews.
18. God blesses the Rechabites for their obedience.














Then
The word "Then" indicates a sequence of events, suggesting that what follows is a direct consequence of what has previously occurred. In the context of Jeremiah 35, this follows the account of the Rechabites' obedience to their ancestor Jonadab's command. This sets the stage for a divine message, emphasizing the importance of timing in God's communication with His prophets.

the word
In Hebrew, "word" is "dabar," which signifies not just a spoken word but a matter or thing. It implies a powerful, active, and living message from God. The "word" of the LORD is not merely a sound but a dynamic force that accomplishes what it is sent to do, as seen throughout the prophetic literature.

of the LORD
The term "LORD" is translated from the tetragrammaton YHWH, the covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal, self-existent nature. This name is a reminder of God's faithfulness and His relationship with Israel. It underscores the authority and divine origin of the message Jeremiah is about to receive.

came
The verb "came" suggests movement and arrival, indicating that the word of the LORD is not static but actively seeks out the prophet. This reflects the initiative of God in communicating with humanity, showing His desire to guide, instruct, and correct His people.

to Jeremiah
Jeremiah, whose name means "Yahweh exalts" or "appointed by Yahweh," is the chosen vessel for this divine message. His role as a prophet is to be the mouthpiece of God, conveying His words to the people of Judah. Jeremiah's life and ministry are marked by obedience and perseverance amidst opposition, reflecting the cost of being a true prophet.

saying
The word "saying" introduces the content of the divine message. It prepares the reader for the authoritative and purposeful communication from God. This phrase underscores the importance of listening and heeding the words that follow, as they are not merely human opinions but divine instructions.

(12) Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah.--Up to this time the prophet had acted on the thought which came into his mind as an inspiration, without apparently more than a partial insight into its meaning. Now, as the words indicate, he passes at once into the prophetic state and speaks the prophetic words. It follows from Jeremiah 35:18 that it was uttered in the presence of the Rechabites and formed, we may believe, the conclusion of this strange dramatic scene.

Verse 12. - Then came the word of the Lord, etc. The substance of the severe address which follows must have been delivered in one of the outer courts of the temple, when Jeremiah had left the Rechabites.
