The Faithfulness Of The Rechabites

8 Thus have we obeyed the commandment of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father, in all that he hath charged us, and so we drink no wine all our life long: we, nor our wives, our sons, and our daughters. 9 Neither build we any house to dwell therein, we have also among us neither vineyards, nor corn land to sow: 10 but we dwell in tents, we obey, and do according unto all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
