Ezekiel 20:1-13

20:1

And it came to pass in the seventh
<07637>

year
<08141>_,

in the fifth
<02549>

[month], the tenth
<06218>

[day] of the month
<02320>_,

[that] certain
<0582>

of the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8804)

to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and sat
<03427> (8799)

before
<06440>

me.

20:2

Then came the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

20:3

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

speak
<01696> (8761)

unto the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Are ye come
<0935> (8802)

to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of me? [As] I live
<02416>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

I will not be enquired
<01875> (8735)

of by you.

20:4

Wilt thou judge
<08199> (8799)

them, son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

wilt thou judge
<08199> (8799)

[them]? cause them to know
<03045> (8685)

the abominations
<08441>

of their fathers
<01>_:

{Wilt...: or, Wilt thou plead for them}

20:5

And say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

In the day
<03117>

when I chose
<0977> (8800)

Israel
<03478>_,

and lifted up
<05375> (8799)

mine hand
<03027>

unto the seed
<02233>

of the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

and made myself known
<03045> (8735)

unto them in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

when I lifted
<05375> (8799)

up mine hand
<03027>

unto them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_;

{lifted...: or, sware}

20:6

In the day
<03117>

[that] I lifted up
<05375> (8804)

mine hand
<03027>

unto them, to bring them forth
<03318> (8687)

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

into a land
<0776>

that I had espied
<08446> (8804)

for them, flowing
<02100> (8802)

with milk
<02461>

and honey
<01706>_,

which [is] the glory
<06643>

of all lands
<0776>_:

20:7

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I unto them, Cast ye away
<07993> (8685)

every man
<0376>

the abominations
<08251>

of his eyes
<05869>_,

and defile
<02930> (8691)

not yourselves with the idols
<01544>

of Egypt
<04714>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

20:8

But they rebelled
<04784> (8686)

against me, and would
<014> (8804)

not hearken
<08085> (8800)

unto me: they did not every man
<0376>

cast away
<07993> (8689)

the abominations
<08251>

of their eyes
<05869>_,

neither did they forsake
<05800> (8804)

the idols
<01544>

of Egypt
<04714>_:

then I said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will pour out
<08210> (8800)

my fury
<02534>

upon them, to accomplish
<03615> (8763)

my anger
<0639>

against them in the midst
<08432>

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

20:9

But I wrought
<06213> (8799)

for my name's
<08034>

sake, that it should not be polluted
<02490> (8736)

before
<05869>

the heathen
<01471>_,

among
<08432>

whom they [were], in whose sight
<05869>

I made myself known
<03045> (8738)

unto them, in bringing them forth
<03318> (8687)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

20:10

Wherefore I caused them to go forth
<03318> (8686)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

them into the wilderness
<04057>_.

20:11

And I gave
<05414> (8799)

them my statutes
<02708>_,

and shewed
<03045> (8689)

them my judgments
<04941>_,

which [if] a man
<0120>

do
<06213> (8799)_,

he shall even live
<02425> (8804)

in them. {shewed...: Heb. made them to know}

20:12

Moreover also I gave
<05414> (8804)

them my sabbaths
<07676>_,

to be a sign
<0226>

between me and them, that they might know
<03045> (8800)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>

that sanctify
<06942> (8764)

them.

20:13

But the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

rebelled
<04784> (8686)

against me in the wilderness
<04057>_:

they walked
<01980> (8804)

not in my statutes
<02708>_,

and they despised
<03988> (8804)

my judgments
<04941>_,

which [if] a man
<0120>

do
<06213> (8799)_,

he shall even live
<02425> (8804)

in them; and my sabbaths
<07676>

they greatly
<03966>

polluted
<02490> (8765)_:

then I said
<0559> (8799)_,

I would pour out
<08210> (8800)

my fury
<02534>

upon them in the wilderness
<04057>_,

to consume
<03615> (8763)

them.
