The invitation

1The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,

2Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them to the house of Yahweh, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.

3So I took Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites.

4So I brought them into the house of Yahweh, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was beside the chamber of the officials, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.

5Then I set before the sons of the house of the Rekabites bowls full of wine and cups, and I said to them, “Drink wine.”
