Jeremiah 35:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ Also you must never build houses, ·plant [^Lsow] seeds, or plant vineyards, or do any of those things. You must live only in tents all your days. Then you will live ·a long time [^Lmany days] in the land where you are ·wanderers [sojourners; resident aliens].’ ⁸ So we Recabites ·have obeyed everything [^Llistened to the voice of] Jonadab our ·ancestor [father] commanded us. Neither we nor our wives, sons, or daughters ever drink wine. ⁹ We never build houses in which to live, or own fields or vineyards, or ·plant crops [^Lseed].
