Ezek. 20:5‑32• 5and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up my hand unto them, saying, I am Jehovah your God,
 6in that day I lifted up my hand unto them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the ornament of all lands;
 7and I said unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.
 8But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: none of them cast away the abominations of his eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I thought to pour out my fury upon them, so as to accomplish mine anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
 9But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they were, in whose sight I had made myself known unto them in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
 10And I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
 11And I gave them my statutes, and made known unto them mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them.
 12And I also gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am Jehovah that hallow them.
 13But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they rejected mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them; and my sabbaths they greatly profaned: and I said I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
 14But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.
 15And I also lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land that I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the ornament of all lands;
 16because they rejected mine ordinances and walked not in my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
 17But mine eye spared them so as not to destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.
 18And I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk not in the statutes of your fathers, neither keep their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
 19I am Jehovah your God: walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them;
 20and hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am Jehovah your God.
 21And the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept mine ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live by them; they profaned my sabbaths: and I said I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish mine anger against them in the wilderness.
 22But I withdrew my hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.
 23I lifted up my hand also unto them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;
 24because they performed not mine ordinances, and rejected my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
 25And I also gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances whereby they should not live;
 26and I defiled them by their own gifts, in that they devoted all that opened the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Jehovah.
 27Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have wrought unfaithfulness against me.
 28When I had brought them into the land which I had lifted up my hand to give unto them, then they saw every high hill and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; and there they placed their sweet savour, and there poured out their drink-offerings.
 29And I said unto them, What is the high place whither ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.
 30Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Do ye defile yourselves after the manner of your fathers? and do ye commit fornication after their abominations?
 31And when ye offer your gifts, making your sons to pass through the fire, ye defile yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day; and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.
 32And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, in serving wood and stone. (Ezek. 20:5‑32)

 7And I brought you into a fruitful land, to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof; and ye entered and defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.
 8The priests said not, Where is Jehovah? and they that handled the law knew me not; and the shepherds transgressed against me; and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
 9Therefore will I yet plead with you, saith Jehovah, and with your children's children will I plead.
 10For pass over to the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there have been such a thing.
 11Hath a nation changed its gods? and they are no gods;--but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
 12Be astonished, ye heavens, at this, and shudder; be amazed very much, saith Jehovah.

a
Often "transgressed," as ch. 66.24. but has the force of "rebellion." It is transgression against authority to which one is rightfully subject. See 1 Kings 12.19.
