Jer 35:1-19.
简体中文
英文原文
Jer 35:1-19.
PROPHECY IN THE REIGN OF JEHOIAKIM, WHEN THE CHALDEANS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SYRIANS AND MOABITES, INVADED JUDEA.
By the obedience of the Rechabites to their father, Jeremiah condemns the disobedience of the Jews to God their Father. The Holy Spirit has arranged Jeremiah's prophecies by the moral rather than the chronological connection. From the history of an event fifteen years before, the Jews, who had brought back their manumitted servants into bondage, are taught how much God loves and rewards obedience, and hates and punishes disobedience.

2. 利甲族——是游牧部族，属哈米的基尼人
(代上 2:55)，
是叶忒罗（即摩西的内兄何巴）的家族
(出 18:9， 等等；民 10:29-32； 士 1:16)。
他们与以色列人一同进入迦南，但为了保持独立，选择了住帐棚、无固定居所的生活
(撒上 15:6)。
除了与犹大相联、延伸到亚玛力的一支之外，在拿弗他利的加低斯还有另一支
(士 4:11, 17)。
他们似乎是进犹太教的外邦人。利甲的儿子约拿达——他们严格遵守他不喝酒的吩咐——曾为神大发热心
(王下 10:15-23)。
亚拉伯的拿巴提人也遵守同样的规矩[狄奥多鲁斯·西库路斯（DIODORUS SICULUS），19.94]。
领……进……耶和华的殿——因为那里有祭司和首长中现成的合适见证人，也因为在那里他能立即向聚集的百姓讲话
(耶 35:13)。
或许也是为要责备那些尽情喝酒的祭司，虽然他们奉命在供职之时当禁酒[加尔文（CALVIN）]。
屋子——环绕圣殿的房间，用途各异，例如存放衣服、圣器等等。
英文原文
2. Rechabites--a nomadic tribe belonging to the Kenites of Hemath
(1Ch 2:55),
of the family of Jethro, or Hobab, Moses' father-in-law
(Ex 18:9, &c.; Nu 10:29-32; Jud 1:16).
They came into Canaan with the Israelites, but, in order to preserve their independence, chose a life in tents without a fixed habitation
(1Sa 15:6).
Besides the branch of them associated with Judah and extending to Amalek, there was another section at Kadesh, in Naphtali
(Jud 4:11, 17).
They seem to have been proselytes of the gate, Jonadab, son of Rechab, whose charge not to drink wine they so strictly obeyed, was zealous for God
(2Ki 10:15-23).
The Nabatheans of Arabia observed the same rules [DIODORUS SICULUS, 19.94].
bring . . . into . . . house of . . . Lord--because there were suitable witnesses at hand there from among the priests and chief men, as also because he had the power immediately to address the people assembled there
(Jer 35:13).
It may have been also as a reproof of the priests, who drank wine freely, though commanded to refrain from it when in the discharge of their duties [CALVIN].
chambers--which were round about the temple, applied to various uses, for example, to contain the vestments, sacred vessels, &c.

4. 神人——指先知
(De 33:1； 1Sa 2:27； 1Ki 12:22； 2Ki 4:7)，
也泛指"神的仆人"
(1Ti 6:11)，
就是不属自己而属神的人；撇下自己一切权利，将自己全然献给神的人
(2Ti 3:17)。
他如此受人尊敬，以至没有人会质疑在他房中所办的事。
守门者——希伯来文作"器皿的"。这职任大概是指负责保管供圣殿使用的人头税和许愿祭物（如银器等）的祭司。这样的保管者有七位[GROTIUS]。比较
2Ki 12:9; 25:18； 1Ch 9:18, 19，
这些都支持英文译本。
我说……喝——耶利米不是说主说，你们喝：因为那样他们就必须顺服。试与
1Ki 13:7-26
的情形比较。
英文原文
4. man of God--a prophet
(De 33:1; 1Sa 2:27; 1Ki 12:22; 2Ki 4:7),
also "a servant of God" in general
(1Ti 6:11),
one not his own, but God's; one who has parted with all right in himself to give himself wholly to God
(2Ti 3:17).
He was so reverenced that none would call in question what was transacted in his chamber.
keeper of the door--Hebrew, "of the vessel." Probably the office meant is that of the priest who kept in charge the capitation money paid for the use of the temple and the votive offerings, such as silver vessels, &c. There were seven such keepers [GROTIUS]. Compare
2Ki 12:9; 25:18; 1Ch 9:18, 19,
which support English Version.
I said . . . Drink--Jeremiah does not say, The Lord saith, Drink: for then they would have been bound to obey. Contrast the case in
1Ki 13:7-26.

6. 约拿达……我们祖宗——即三百多年前的先祖和引导者
(2Ki 10:15)。
他们称为利甲人，不称为约拿达人，因为他们早在采纳他儿子约拿达的训令之前，就已从父利甲得此名。这一例子并不能为对基督教父之宗教见解作奴性盲从提供依据：因为约拿达的训令只涉及今生之事；况且它并不约束良心，因他们认为自己可在入侵时上耶路撒冷，并不算为不法
(Jer 35:11)。
此处所称赞的，不是父的训令，而是众子的顺服[CALVIN]。
英文原文
6. Jonadab . . . our father--that is, forefather and director, three hundred years before
(2Ki 10:15).
They were called Rechabites, not Jonadabites, having received their name from Rechab the father, previously to their adopting the injunctions of Jonadab his son. This case affords no justification for slavish deference to the religious opinions of the Christian fathers: for Jonadab's injunction only affected matters of the present life; moreover, it was not binding on their consciences, for they deemed it not unlawful to go to Jerusalem in the invasion
(Jer 35:11).
What is praised here is not the father's injunction, but the obedience of the sons [CALVIN].

7. 帐棚——
(Jud 4:17)。
日子长久——照着与第五条诫命相连的应许
(Ex 20:12； Eph 6:2, 3)。
寄居——他们不是雅各的后裔，而是在以色列寄居的人。是神儿女的预表，在世上是客旅，盼望天家；所失有限，故灾年也少惊惶；对所有的淡然处之
(Heb 10:34; 11:9, 10, 13-16)。
英文原文
7. tents--
(Jud 4:17).
live many days--according to the promise connected with the fifth commandment
(Ex 20:12; Eph 6:2, 3).
strangers--They were not of the stock of Jacob, but sojourners in Israel. Types of the children of God, pilgrims on earth, looking for heaven as their home: having little to lose, so that losing times cost them little alarm; sitting loose to what they have
(Heb 10:34; 11:9, 10, 13-16).

8. he . . . charged us . . . all our days, we . . . wives . . . sons . . . daughters（他所吩咐我们的……我们一生的日子……我们……妻子……儿子……女儿）——在一切细节上、在一切时日里、在所有的人毫无例外地全然顺服：在这些方面，以色列对神的顺服是有所欠缺的。对比
1Sa 15:20, 21; Ps 78:34-37, 41, 56, 57。
英文原文
8. all that he . . . charged us . . . all our days, we . . . wives . . . sons . . . daughters--unreserved obedience in all particulars, at all times, and on the part of all, without exception: in these respects Israel's obedience to God was wanting. Contrast
1Sa 15:20, 21; Ps 78:34-37, 41, 56, 57.

11. Chaldeans . . . Syrians（迦勒底……亚兰）——约雅敬背叛尼布甲尼撒之时
(2Ki 24:1, 2)。
紧急状态可以暂时搁置一切别的律法。这是利甲族人暂时在城中居住、看似违背约拿达之命的借口。由此可以看出约拿达命令中预见的智慧：他们可以随时迁移，没有土地产业拘束他们。
英文原文
11. Chaldeans . . . Syrians--when Jehoiakim revolted from Nebuchadnezzar
(2Ki 24:1, 2).
Necessity sets aside all other laws. This is the Rechabites' excuse for their seeming disobedience to Jonadab in temporarily settling in a city. Herein was seen the prescient wisdom of Jonadab's commands; they could at a moment's notice migrate, having no land possessions to tie them.

2Ch 36:15，
暗示一种独特的发言方式，即神差遣祂的仆人。
(Jer 18:11; 25:5, 6)。
我所吩咐的无不合理，只是要他们事奉我，并且我以恩惠的应许附在命令上，却归于徒然。约拿达的命令既是武断的、本身并非道德义务，尚且被人顺服，何况我的命令本身是正当的，岂不更当顺服吗？
英文原文
15. In
Jer 35:15
and in
2Ch 36:15,
a distinct mode of address is alluded to, namely, God sending His servants.
(Jer 18:11; 25:5, 6).
I enjoined nothing unreasonable, but simply to serve Me, and I attached to the command a gracious promise, but in vain. If Jonadab's commands, which were arbitrary and not moral obligations in themselves, were obeyed, much more ought Mine, which are in themselves right.

(Ps 89:36)。
利甲族从被掳中归回。[WOLFF]在阿拉伯发现他们的踪迹。
英文原文
19. not want a man to stand before me--There shall always be left representatives of the clan to worship Me
(Jer 15:1, 19);
or, "before Me" means simple existence, for all things in existence are in God's sight
(Ps 89:36).
The Rechabites returned from the captivity. WOLFF found traces of them in Arabia.
耶 35:1-19。
约雅敬在位时的预言；那时迦勒底人联合亚兰人和摩押人侵犯犹大。
借着利甲族对其祖先的顺服，耶利米谴责犹太人对他们父神的违逆。圣灵按道德联系而非按年代顺序编排了耶利米的预言。从十五年前的一件史事，犹太人——他们既把已释放的仆婢重新带回顾为奴——得以学到神何等喜爱并赏赐顺服，何等恨恶并惩罚违逆。
