Ezekiel 20:12-20

12Moreover alsoH1571 I gaveH5414 them my sabbathsH7676, to beH1961 a signH226 between me and them, that they might knowH3045 that I am Jehovah that sanctifieth them. 13But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 rebelledH4784 against me in the wildernessH4057: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, and they rejectedH3988 mine ordinancesH4941, which if a manH120 keep, he shall live in them; and my sabbathsH7676 they greatly profanedH2490. Then I saidH559 I would pourH8210 out my wrathH2534 upon them in the wildernessH4057, to consume them. 14But I wrought for my name’sH8034 sakeH4616, that it should not be profanedH2490 in the sight of the nationsH1471, in whose sight I broughtH3318 them out. 15Moreover alsoH1571 I sware unto them in the wildernessH4057, that I would not bringH935 them into the landH776 which I had givenH5414 them, flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, which is the glory of all landsH776; 16because they rejectedH3988 mine ordinancesH4941, and walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, and profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: for their heartH3820 wentH1980 after their idolsH1544. 17Nevertheless mine eyeH5869 spared them, and I destroyedH7843 them not, neither did I makeH6213 a full end of them in the wildernessH4057.

18And I saidH559 unto their children in the wildernessH4057, Walk ye not in the statutesH2706 of your fathersH1, neither observeH8104 their ordinancesH4941, nor defileH2930 yourselvesH2930 with their idolsH1544. 19I am Jehovah your GodH430: walk in my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 mine ordinancesH4941, and do them; 20and hallow my sabbathsH7676; and they shall beH1961 a signH226 between me and you, that ye may knowH3045 that I am Jehovah your GodH430.
