Context — God's Promise to the Rechabitesgenerated

16Yes, the sons of Jonadab son of Rechab carried out the command their forefather gave them, but these people have not listened to Me.
17Therefore this is what the LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will bring to Judah and to all the residents of Jerusalem all the disaster I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them but they have not obeyed, and I have called to them but they have not answered.’”
18Then Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites: “This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Because you have obeyed the command of your forefather Jonadab and have kept all his commandments and have done all that he charged you to do,
19this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Jonadab son of Rechab will never fail to have a man to stand before Me.’”

Jeremiah 35:19 is part of a message from the LORD to the Rechabites, highlighting their obedience to their ancestor Jonadab. The context shows a contrast between the faithfulness of the Rechabites and the disobedience of the people of Judah. This promise emphasizes the importance of loyalty and the lasting impact of one's choices across generations.

The Key Word יִּכָּרֵ֨ת, yi.ka.Retgenerated

The verb כָּרַת (*karath*) means to cut off or to make a covenant. In this context, יִּכָּרֵ֨ת is in the Niphal form, indicating a passive action, suggesting that Jonadab's lineage will not be cut off from serving before the LORD.

This construction implies a divine promise of continuity, emphasizing that Jonadab's descendants will always have a representative in God's presence, which reflects God's faithfulness to those who remain loyal to Him.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb אָמַר, he says, governs the entire statement, indicating that what follows is a declaration from the LORD. The structure includes a prepositional phrase identifying the speaker, followed by a noun phrase that serves as the subject.

The phrase לְיוֹנָדָב introduces Jonadab as the key figure, while the participial phrase עֹמֵ֥ד, [who] will stand, describes the ongoing presence of his lineage before God.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates יִּכָּרֵ֨ת with ἐκλίπῃ, meaning 'it will be removed.' This choice reflects a different nuance, suggesting a potential loss of lineage rather than a promise of continuity.

This divergence indicates an interpretative shift, where the Greek translators may have emphasized the consequences of disobedience more than the Hebrew text's assurance of faithfulness.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Jeremiah 35:19 shows that the LORD promises Jonadab son of Rechab that he will always have a man to serve before Him. This highlights God's faithfulness to those who are loyal and obedient.


Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

What does it mean that Jonadab will never fail to have a man to stand before God?

It means that Jonadab's descendants will always have someone in God's service, signifying a lasting legacy of faithfulness.

Why does God emphasize the obedience of the Rechabites?

Is this promise only for Jonadab's immediate descendants?

The promise extends to all his descendants, indicating a perpetual line of service before God.

For ever here signifies the ever of the Jewish state or church; whether the promise relates to the abiding of Jonadab’ s family, when many families of the Jews were quite rooted out, cut off, and extinct, or to some special favour that God would show them, or to some place of office they should have in or about the temple, (as some judge, because, , it appears they were scribes,) is uncertain. But it is a question of more moment, How God promiseth a reward to these sons’ of Jonadab for obeying the command of their father, and whether they had sinned if they had not obeyed this command of Jonadab; which brings in another question, Whether parents have a power to oblige their children in…

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(19) Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.—Taking the words in their simplest literal sense, they find a fulfilment in the strange unlooked-for way in which the name and customs of the Rechabites have cropped up from time to time. The Jewish historian Hegesippus (see Euseb. Hist. Eccl. ii. 23), in his account of the martyrdom of James the Just, names the sons of the Rechabites as looking on in reverential sympathy with one whose life, like their own, carried the Nazarite type to its highest perfection. In the account which Diodorus Siculns (xix. 94) gives of the Nabathæans as neither sowing seed, nor planting fruit-trees, nor building houses, and…

Verse 19. Thus saith the Lord - Jonadab - shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.] His name shall ever be honourable, and his posterity shall enjoy my continual protection, and there shall never be found a time in which men of his spirit shall be wanting as patterns of genuine simplicity, filial obedience, purity of manners, and deadness to the world. True Christians may be considered as the genuine successors of these ancient Rechabites; and some suppose that the Essenes, in our Lord's time, were literally their descendants, and that these were they who followed our Lord particularly, and became the first converts to the Gospel. If so, the prophecy is literally fulfilled: they…

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

19. to stand before me] It is by no means necessary to understand the expression here as implying priestly functions (cp. Jeremiah 15:19), although the hint that the Rechabites were employed in some capacity in connexion with the Temple is supported by (i) the LXX heading of Psalms 71; (ii) the account of the martyrdom of James the Just (Eusebius, Eccles. Hist. II. 23) where “priests of the sons of Rechab” are spoken of. Benjamin of Tudela, a Jewish traveller of the 12th century, mentions a body of Jews who were called Rechabites, and whose customs corresponded with those detailed in Jeremiah. Dr Wolff (Journal, 1829) describes a body of Rechabites near Mecca who claimed to be sons of…

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint largely agree, with a word-for-word correspondence in 16 out of 17 words. The differences lie in the interpretation of יִּכָּרֵ֨ת, which the Septuagint renders differently, suggesting a more negative outcome.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

The name conferred on Jacob after the great prayer-struggle at Peniel (Gen. 32:28), because “as a prince he had power with God and prevailed.” (See JACOB.) This is the common name given to Jacob’s descendants. The whole people of the twelve tribes are called “Israelites,” the “children of Israel” (Josh. 3:17; 7:25; Judg. 8:27; Jer. 3:21), and the “house of Israel” (Ex. 16:31; 40:38).

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Jonadab

=Jehon’adab. (1.) The son of Rechab, and founder of the Rechabites (q.v.), 2 Kings 10:15; Jer. 35:6, 10.

(2.) The son of Shimeah, David’s brother (2 Sam. 13:3). He was “a very subtil man.”

Smith's Bible Dictionary

(whom Jehovah impels). Son of Shimeah and nephew of David. (B.C. 1033.) He is described as "very subtle." (2 Samuel 13:3) His age naturally made him the friend of his cousin Amnon, heir to the throne. (2 Samuel 13:3) He gave him the fatal advice for ensnaring his sister Tamar. ch (2 Samuel 13:5,6) Again, when, in a later stage of the same tragedy, Amnon was murdered by Absalom, and the exaggerated report reached David that all the princes were slaughtered, Jonadab was already aware of the real state of the case. (2 Samuel 13:32,33) (Jeremiah 35:6,8,10,14,16,18,19) [JEHONADAB]

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

1. A SON OF Shimeah, the cunning and unprincipled nephew of David, and friend of Amnon, 2Sa 13:3-5. Yet he seems to have been long aware of the purpose of Absalom to avenge his sister’s dishonor upon Amnon, and very coolly excused the assassination of his friend, 2Sa 13:32-35.

2. A son of Rechab, a Kenite, descended from Hobab the brother of Moses. He was at the head of the Rechabites in the time of Jehu, and seems to have given them a command to abstain from wine, 2Ki 10:15 1Ch 2:55 Jer 35:6-10. See RECHABITES.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
