And the families of the scribes that dwell in Jabes, singing and making melody, and abiding in tents. These are the Cinites, who came of Calor (Chamath) father of the house of Rechab.
וּמִשְׁפְּח֤וֹת סֹפְרִים֙ ישבו יֹשְׁבֵ֣י יַעְבֵּ֔ץ תִּרְעָתִ֥ים שִׁמְעָתִ֖ים שׂוּכָתִ֑ים הֵ֚מָּה הַקִּינִ֣ים הַבָּאִ֔ים מֵחַמַּ֖ת אֲבִ֥י בֵית־רֵכָֽב׃
2 Church Fathers comment on this verse
The innkeeper Rahab, symbolizing the church, displayed a scarlet cord from her window, representing the blood of the Lord, to preserve her household during the fall of Jericho. In a different context, Scripture refers to the holy individuals as those who emerged from the lineage of the father of Rechab (1 Chronicles 2:55).
This book reveals that Rehab, frequently commended in the Scriptures, belonged to the tribe of Judah (Jeremiah 35:6).
