SEV Biblia, Chapter 35:6
Pero ellos dijeron: No beberemos vino; porque Jonadab hijo de Recab nuestro padre nos mandó, diciendo: No beberéis jamás vino vosotros ni vuestros hijos perpetuamente;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 35:6
Verse 6. We will drink no wine] The reason is given above. Their whole religious and political institution consisted in obedience to three simple precepts, each of which has an appropriate spiritual meaning:- 1. Ye shall drink no wine] Ye shall preserve your bodies in temperance, shall use nothing that would deprive you of the exercise of your sober reason at any time; lest in such a time ye should do what might be prejudicial to yourselves, injurious to your neighbour, or dishonourable to your God. 2. Neither shall ye build house] Ye shall not become residents in any place; ye shall not court earthly possessions; ye shall live free from ambition and from envy, that ye may be free from contention and strife.
3. But-ye shall dwell in tents] Ye shall imitate your forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the rest of the patriarchs, who dwelt in tents, being strangers and pilgrims upon earth, looking for a heavenly country, and being determined to have nothing here that would indispose their minds towards that place of endless rest, or prevent them from passing through temporal things so as not to lose those that are eternal.
There must necessarily be more in these injunctions than meets the eye in the letter of this account.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The obedience of the Rechabites. (Jer. 35:1-11) The Jews' disobedienc to the Lord. (Jer. 35:12-19)
Jer. 35:1-11 Jonadab was famous for wisdom and piety. He lived nearl 300 years before, II Kin. 10:15. Jonadab charged his posterity not to drink wine. He also appointed them to dwell in tents, or movabl dwelling: this would teach them not to think of settling any where in this world. To keep low, would be the way to continue long in the lan where they were strangers. Humility and contentment are always the bes policy, and men's surest protection. Also, that they might not run int unlawful pleasures, they were to deny themselves even lawful delights The consideration that we are strangers and pilgrims should oblige u to abstain from all fleshly lusts. Let them have little to lose, an then losing times would be the less dreadful: let them sit loose to what they had, and then they might with less pain be stript of it Those are in the best frame to meet sufferings who live a life of self-denial, and who despise the vanities of the world. Jonadab' posterity observed these rules strictly, only using proper means for their safety in a time of general suffering.
Jer. 35:12-19 The trial of the Rechabites' constancy was for a sign; is made the disobedience of the Jews to God the more marked. The Rechabites were obedient to one who was but a man like themselves, an Jonadab never did for his seed what God has done for his people. Merc is promised to the Rechabites. We are not told respecting the performance of this promise; but doubtless it was performed, an travellers say the Rechabites may be found a separate people to thi day. Let us follow the counsels of our pious forefathers, and we shal find good in so doing __________________________________________________________________
