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.
