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.














So I went
This phrase indicates obedience and action. Jeremiah, as a prophet, is responding to God's command. The Hebrew root for "went" is "הלך" (halak), which often implies a journey or a purposeful movement. In the context of a prophet, it signifies a faithful response to divine instruction, highlighting the importance of obedience in the life of a believer.

and summoned
The act of summoning implies authority and urgency. The Hebrew word "קרא" (qara) is used, which can mean to call out or proclaim. This reflects the seriousness of the message Jeremiah is about to deliver. It underscores the role of a prophet as one who calls people to attention, often to convey God's will.

Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah
Jaazaniah is a leader within the Rechabite community. His name means "Yahweh hears," which is significant in the context of this narrative. It suggests that God is attentive to the faithfulness of the Rechabites. The mention of his lineage, "son of Jeremiah," connects him to a heritage of faith, emphasizing the importance of family and tradition in maintaining spiritual integrity.

son of Habazziniah
Habazziniah is a less-known figure, but his inclusion highlights the importance of ancestry and legacy. The name may mean "light of Yahweh," suggesting a divine illumination or guidance passed through generations. This reflects the biblical theme of God’s faithfulness to families who honor Him.

and all his brothers and all his sons
This phrase emphasizes the communal and familial aspect of the Rechabites. The Hebrew culture placed great importance on family units, and this gathering of brothers and sons signifies unity and collective identity. It also points to the transmission of values and beliefs across generations, a key theme in biblical teachings.

the entire house of the Rechabites
The Rechabites were a nomadic clan known for their strict adherence to a lifestyle of abstinence from wine and settled living, as commanded by their ancestor Jonadab. This phrase underscores their collective commitment to these principles. Historically, the Rechabites serve as a model of faithfulness and obedience, contrasting with the disobedience of Judah. Their lifestyle is a testament to the power of tradition and the impact of a godly heritage.

(3) Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah . . .--The names (Jaazaniah = Jehovah hears, Jeremiah = Jehovah exalts, Habaziniah = Jehovah gathers) are not without significance, as showing that the Rechabites were sharers in the faith of Israel, perhaps, as an order, conspicuous witnesses for that faith. The name Jeremiah may possibly indicate that there was some previous connexion between the Rechabites and the prophet's family.

His brethren, and all his sons . . .--The words may be taken in their literal sense, but on the assumption that the Rechabites were a religious order rather than a family, the terms may indicate different stages or degrees of membership, the "brethren" being those who were fully incorporated, the "sons," those who like "the sons of the prophets" (2Kings 4:38; 2Kings 6:1; 2Kings 9:1; Amos 7:14) were still in training as probationers. Such a use of the word "brethren" would grow naturally out of that of "sons," and is found in this wider sense of priests and Levites (1Chronicles 15:5-18; 1Chronicles 26:7-32 and elsewhere) and of prophets (Revelation 22:9). . . .
