* "
Say to them , "
Thus says the Lord GOD : "
On the day when I chose Israel and raised My hand in an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob ,
and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt ,
I raised My hand in an oath to them ,
saying , "
I am the LORD your God .'
*
On that day I raised My hand in an oath to them ,
to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them , "
flowing with milk and honey ,'
the glory of all lands .
*
Then I said to them , "
Each of you ,
throw away the abominations which are before his eyes ,
and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt .
I am the LORD your God .'
*
But they rebelled against Me and would not obey Me .
They did not all cast away the abominations which were before their eyes ,
nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt .
Then I said , "
I will pour out My fury on them and fulfill My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt .'
*
But I acted for My name '
s sake ,
that it should not be profaned before the Gentiles among whom they were ,
in whose sight I had made Myself known to them ,
to bring them out of the land of Egypt .
* "
Therefore I made them go out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness .
