web - Ezekiel:20:1-29

web@Ezekiel:20:1 @ It happened in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], the tenth [day] of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Yahweh, and sat before me.

web@Ezekiel:20:2 @ The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

web@Ezekiel:20:3 @ Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Is it to inquire of me that you have come? As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I will not be inquired of by you.

web@Ezekiel:20:4 @ Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers;

web@Ezekiel:20:5 @ and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, I am Yahweh your God;

web@Ezekiel:20:6 @ in that day I swore to them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.

web@Ezekiel:20:7 @ I said to them, Cast away every man the abominations of his eyes, and don't defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am Yahweh your God.

web@Ezekiel:20:8 @ But they rebelled against me, and would not listen to me; they each didn't throw away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

web@Ezekiel:20:9 @ But I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.

web@Ezekiel:20:10 @ So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.

web@Ezekiel:20:11 @ I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them.

web@Ezekiel:20:12 @ Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.

web@Ezekiel:20:13 @ But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they didn't walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keep, he shall live in them; and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.

web@Ezekiel:20:14 @ But I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.

web@Ezekiel:20:15 @ Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;

web@Ezekiel:20:16 @ because they rejected my ordinances, and didn't walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.

web@Ezekiel:20:17 @ Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn't destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.

web@Ezekiel:20:18 @ I said to their children in the wilderness, Don't walk in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.

web@Ezekiel:20:19 @ I am Yahweh your God: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them;

web@Ezekiel:20:20 @ and make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am Yahweh your God.

web@Ezekiel:20:21 @ But the children rebelled against me; they didn't walk in my statutes, neither kept my ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live in them; they profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

web@Ezekiel:20:22 @ Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.

web@Ezekiel:20:23 @ Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;

web@Ezekiel:20:24 @ because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.

web@Ezekiel:20:25 @ Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they should not live;

web@Ezekiel:20:26 @ and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through [the fire] all that opens the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Yahweh.

web@Ezekiel:20:27 @ Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.

web@Ezekiel:20:28 @ For when I had brought them into the land, which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there also they made their pleasant aroma, and they poured out there their drink offerings.

web@Ezekiel:20:29 @ Then I said to them, What does the high place where you go mean? So its name is called Bamah to this day.
