Bible Question:
RECABITE FAMILY WHO ARE THEY? |
Bible Answer: The Rechabites (the correct spelling)were a branch of the Kenite clan that descended from Jethro, Moses' father-in-law (Judges 1:16; 1 Chronicles 2:55). They had previously settled ini northern Israel (Judges 4:17; 5:24) and in southern Judah (1 Samuel 15:6). Evidently Jonadab's branch of the family had moved from the north into the Southern Kingdom following the Assyrian invasion of 722 B.C. Rechab was the father of Jonadab (also recorded as Jehonadab). According to the Mishnah, the children of Jonadab, son of Rechab had a fixed day in each year for bringing wood for the altar of the Temple. Even today, in Syria and parts of Arabia, there are groups that claim to be Rechabites and that follow the Rechabite rule. |
