Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
No construimos casas para vivir en ellas, y no poseemos viñedos, campos, ni semillas para sembrar.
Los recabitas vivían sin posesiones permanentes como casas, tierras o cultivos, manteniendo un estilo de vida nómada.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Jeremiah, set during the 7th century BC in ancient Judah, the prophet Jeremiah is commanded by God to test the Rechabites, a family group descended from Jonadab son of Rechab, by offering them wine in the temple. The Rechabites had pledged to live as nomads, avoiding permanent settlements like building houses or farming vineyards and fields, as per Jonadab's instructions to remain faithful and separate from the corrupting influences of settled society. This narrative serves as a contrast to the disobedience of the Israelites, who ignored God's laws despite His clear commands.
