The Rechabites Refuse Jeremiah's Wine Test

In Jehoiakim's days the Rechabites are brought into a temple chamber and offered wine

The word comes in the days of Jehoiakim: Go unto the house of the Rechabites, speak, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink. Jeremiah takes Jaazaniah, his brethren, sons, and the whole house into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, by the princes, above Maaseiah.

I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said, Drink ye wine. They refuse: We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever: neither build houses, sow seed, plant vineyard; but live in tents, that ye may live many days in the land where ye be strangers.

The test uses their own ancestral rule; it does not authorize pressuring drinkers

They explain that they have obeyed Jonadab in all that he charged, and that they came to Jerusalem only when Nebuchadrezzar's coming drove them from tents. Wartime migration, not fashion, put them in the city.

The scene does not authorize pressuring people to drink, idealize homelessness, or make every ancestral rule morally binding. Jeremiah's offer is a sign-test the family is allowed to refuse.
