Ezekiel 20:1-8

1In the seventhH7637 yearH8141, on the tenthH6218 dayH2320 of the fifth monthH2549, some of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935H582 to inquireH1875 of the LORDH3068, and they sat downH3427 before meH6440.

2Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH413, sayingH559, 3“SonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 to the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 and tellH559 themH413 that this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: Have youH859 comeH935 to inquireH1875 of MeH853? As surely asH589 I liveH2416, I will notH518 be consultedH1875 by you, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.

4Will you judgeH8199 themH853, will you judgeH8199 them, sonH1121 of manH120? Confront them withH3045 the abominationsH8441 of their fathersH1 5and tellH559 themH413 that this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: On the dayH3117 I choseH977 IsraelH3478, I swore an oathH5375H3027 to the descendantsH2233 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 and made Myself knownH3045 to them in the landH776 of EgyptH4714. With an upliftedH5375 handH3027 I saidH559 to them, ‘IH589 am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.’

6On thatH1931 dayH3117 I sworeH5375H3027 to bring themH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 intoH413 a landH776 thatH834 I had searched outH8446 for them, a land flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, the gloryH6643H1931 of allH3605 landsH776. 7And I saidH559 to themH413: ‘Each of youH376 must throw awayH7993 the abominationsH8251 before his eyesH5869, and you must notH408 defile yourselvesH2930 with the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714. IH589 am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.’

8But they rebelledH4784 against Me and refusedH3808H14 to listenH8085. None of themH376 cast awayH7993 the abominationsH8251 before their eyesH5869, and they did notH3808 forsakeH5800 the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714. So I resolvedH559 to pour outH8210 My wrathH2534 upon themH5921 and ventH3615 My angerH639 against them inH8432 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
