A Lesson from the RechabitesGod commanded Jeremiah to gather the Rechabites into the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers, and set wine before them and invite them to drink. Jeremiah did as the Lord commanded him. “But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons forever.” {4T 174.2}

En lektie fra rekabiterne
Gud befalede Jeremias at samle rekabiterne i Herrens hus, i et af kamrene og give dem vin og indbyde dem at drikke. Jeremias gjorde som Herren befalede ham. »Men de svarede: Vi drikker ikke vin, thi vor fader Jonadab, Rekabs søn, gav os det bud: I og eders børn må aldrig drikke vin."
