166. Ye have been enjoined to renew the furnishings of your homes after the passing of each nineteen years # 151 |

Bahá’u’lláh confirms the injunction in the Arabic Bayán
regarding the renewal, every nineteen years, of the
furnishings of one’s home, provided one is able to do so.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá relates this ordinance to the promotion of
refinement and cleanliness. He explains that the purpose of
the law is that one should change those furnishings that
become old, lose their lustre and provoke repugnance. It
does not apply to such things as rare or treasured articles,
antiques or jewellery.
