Jeremias 35
Bíblia Livre (BLIVRE) · Português
1 Palavra que veio do SENHOR a Jeremias nos dias de Jeoaquim filho de Josias, rei de Judá, dizendo: 2 Vai à casa dos recabitas, e fala com eles, e leva-os à casa do SENHOR, a uma das câmaras; e dá-lhes de beber vinho. 3 Tomei então a Jazanias filho de Jeremias, filho de Habazinias, e a seus irmãos, e a todos os seus filhos, e todos da casa dos recabitas; 4 E os levei à casa do SENHOR, à câmara dos filhos de Hanã, filho de Jigdalias, homem de Deus, a qual estava junto à câmara dos príncipes, que é acima da câmara de Maaseias filho de Salum, guarda da porta. 5 E pus diante dos filhos da casa dos recabitas taças e copos cheios de vinho, e disse-lhes: Bebei vinho. 6 Porém eles disseram: Não beberemos vinho; porque Jonadabe filho de Recabe, nosso pai, nos mandou, dizendo: Nunca bebereis vinho, nem vós nem vossos filhos; 7 Nem edificareis casa, nem semeareis semente, nem plantareis vinha, nem a tereis; em vez disso habitareis em tendas todos os vossos dias, para que vivais muitos dias sobre a face da terra onde vós peregrinais. 8 E nós temos obedecido à voz de Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, nosso pai; em tudo quanto ele nos mandou, de maneira que não bebemos vinho em todos os nossos dias, nós, nem nossas mulheres, nossos filhos, e nossas filhas; 9 Nem edificamos casas para nossa habitação; nem temos vinha, nem campo, nem sementeira. 10 E habitamos em tendas, e assim temos obedecido e feito conforme a tudo quanto nos mandou Jonadabe nosso pai. 11 Sucedeu, porém, que quando Nabucodonosor rei de Babilônia subiu a esta terra, dissemos: Vinde, e vamos a Jerusalém, por causa do exército dos caldeus e por causa do exército dos sírios; e assim ficamos em Jerusalém. 12 Então veio a palavra do SENHOR a Jeremias, dizendo: 13 Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Vai, e dize aos homens de Judá, e aos moradores de Jerusalém: Por acaso nunca aceitareis ensino para obedecer a minhas palavras? Diz o SENHOR. 14 As palavras de Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, que mandou a seus filhos que não bebessem vinho, foram obedecidas; pois não o beberam até hoje, por terem ouvido ao mandamento de seu pai; e eu vos tenho falado, insistindo em falar, mas vós não me ouvistes. 15 E enviei a vós a todos os meus servos, os profetas, insistindo em enviá-los, para dizerem: Convertei-vos agora cada um de seu mal caminho, e fazei boas as vossas ações, e não sigais a outros deuses para lhes servi-los, e assim vivereis na terra que dei a vós e a vossos pais; porém não inclinastes vossos ouvidos, nem me obedecestes. 16 Dado que os filhos de Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, guardaram o mandamento de seu pai que lhes mandou, mas este povo não me tem obedece, 17 Portanto assim diz o SENHOR Deus dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que eu trarei sobre Judá e sobre todos os moradores de Jerusalém todo o mal que falei contra eles; pois eu lhes falei, mas não ouviram; eu os chamei, mas não responderam. 18 E disse Jeremias aos da casa dos recabitas: Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Por obedecerdes ao mandamento de Jonadabe vosso pai, e guardardes todos os seus mandamentos, e fizerdes conforme a tudo quanto ele vos mandou, 19 Portanto, assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Nunca faltará homem da descendência de Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, que esteja diante de minha presença, todos os dias.

Jeremias 35:2
Jr 35:1-19. Prophecy in the Reign of Jehoiakim, when the Chaldeans, in Conjunction with the Syrians and Moabites, Invaded Judea.
By the obedience of the Rechabites to their father, Jeremiah condemns the disobedience of the Jews to God their Father. The Holy Spirit has arranged Jeremiah's prophecies by the moral rather than the chronological connection. From the history of an event fifteen years before, the Jews, who had brought back their manumitted servants into bondage, are taught how much God loves and rewards obedience, and hates and punishes disobedience.
2. Rechabites--a nomadic tribe belonging to the Kenites of Hemath (1Ch 2:55), of the family of Jethro, or Hobab, Moses' father-in-law (Ex 18:9, &c.; Nu 10:29-32; Jud 1:16). They came into Canaan with the Israelites, but, in order to preserve their independence, chose a life in tents without a fixed habitation (1Sa 15:6). Besides the branch of them associated with Judah and extending to Amalek, there was another section at Kadesh, in Naphtali (Jud 4:11, 17). They seem to have been proselytes of the gate, Jonadab, son of Rechab, whose charge not to drink wine they so strictly obeyed, was zealous for God (2Ki 10:15-23). The Nabatheans of Arabia observed the same rules [Diodorus Siculus, 19.94].
bring ... into ... house of ... Lord--because there were suitable witnesses at hand there from among the priests and chief men, as also because he had the power immediately to address the people assembled there (Jr 35:13). It may have been also as a reproof of the priests, who drank wine freely, though commanded to refrain from it when in the discharge of their duties [Calvin].
chambers--which were round about the temple, applied to various uses, for example, to contain the vestments, sacred vessels, &c.
Jeremias 35:3
3. Jaazaniah--the elder and chief of the clan.
Jeremias 35:4
4. man of God--a prophet (De 33:1; 1Sa 2:27; 1Ki 12:22; 2Ki 4:7), also "a servant of God" in general (1Ti 6:11), one not his own, but God's; one who has parted with all right in himself to give himself wholly to God (2Ti 3:17). He was so reverenced that none would call in question what was transacted in his chamber.
keeper of the door--Hebrew, "of the vessel." Probably the office meant is that of the priest who kept in charge the capitation money paid for the use of the temple and the votive offerings, such as silver vessels, &c. There were seven such keepers [Grotius]. Compare 2Ki 12:9; 25:18; 1Ch 9:18, 19, which support English Version.
I said ... Drink--Jeremiah does not say, The Lord saith, Drink: for then they would have been bound to obey. Contrast the case in 1Ki 13:7-26.
Jeremias 35:6
6. Jonadab ... our father--that is, forefather and director, three hundred years before (2Ki 10:15). They were called Rechabites, not Jonadabites, having received their name from Rechab the father, previously to their adopting the injunctions of Jonadab his son. This case affords no justification for slavish deference to the religious opinions of the Christian fathers: for Jonadab's injunction only affected matters of the present life; moreover, it was not binding on their consciences, for they deemed it not unlawful to go to Jerusalem in the invasion (Jr 35:11). What is praised here is not the father's injunction, but the obedience of the sons [Calvin].
Jeremias 35:7
7. tents--(Jud 4:17).
live many days--according to the promise connected with the fifth commandment (Ex 20:12; Ep 6:2, 3).
strangers--They were not of the stock of Jacob, but sojourners in Israel. Types of the children of God, pilgrims on earth, looking for heaven as their home: having little to lose, so that losing times cost them little alarm; sitting loose to what they have (He 10:34; 11:9, 10, 13-16).
Jeremias 35:8
Jeremias 35:11
11. Chaldeans ... Syrians--when Jehoiakim revolted from Nebuchadnezzar (2Ki 24:1, 2). Necessity sets aside all other laws. This is the Rechabites' excuse for their seeming disobedience to Jonadab in temporarily settling in a city. Herein was seen the prescient wisdom of Jonadab's commands; they could at a moment's notice migrate, having no land possessions to tie them.
Jeremias 35:14
14. obey ... father's commandment: notwithstanding I--(Mal 1:6).
rising early and speaking--God Himself speaking late and early by His various ways of providence and grace.
Jeremias 35:15
15. In Jr 35:15 and in 2Ch 36:15, a distinct mode of address is alluded to, namely, God sending His servants. (Jr 18:11; 25:5, 6). I enjoined nothing unreasonable, but simply to serve Me, and I attached to the command a gracious promise, but in vain. If Jonadab's commands, which were arbitrary and not moral obligations in themselves, were obeyed, much more ought Mine, which are in themselves right.
Jeremias 35:17
Jeremias 35:19
19. not want a man to stand before me--There shall always be left representatives of the clan to worship Me (Jr 15:1, 19); or, "before Me" means simple existence, for all things in existence are in God's sight (Psa 89:36). The Rechabites returned from the captivity. Wolff found traces of them in Arabia.
