Ezekiel 20:6-49

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.

20:14

But I wrought
<06213> (8799)

for my name's
<08034>

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

before
<05869>

the heathen
<01471>_,

in whose sight
<05869>

I brought them out
<03318> (8689)_.

20:15

Yet also I lifted up
<05375> (8804)

my hand
<03027>

unto them in the wilderness
<04057>_,

that I would not bring
<0935> (8687)

them into the land
<0776>

which I had given
<05414> (8804)

[them], flowing
<02100> (8802)

with milk
<02461>

and honey
<01706>_,

which [is] the glory
<06643>

of all lands
<0776>_;

20:16

Because they despised
<03988> (8804)

my judgments
<04941>_,

and walked
<01980> (8804)

not in my statutes
<02708>_,

but polluted
<02490> (8765)

my sabbaths
<07676>_:

for their heart
<03820>

went
<01980> (8802)

after
<0310>

their idols
<01544>_.

20:17

Nevertheless mine eye
<05869>

spared
<02347> (8799)

them from destroying
<07843> (8763)

them, neither did I make
<06213> (8804)

an end
<03617>

of them in the wilderness
<04057>_.

20:18

But I said
<0559> (8799)

unto their children
<01121>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

Walk
<03212> (8799)

ye not in the statutes
<02706>

of your fathers
<01>_,

neither observe
<08104> (8799)

their judgments
<04941>_,

nor defile
<02930> (8691)

yourselves with their idols
<01544>_:

20:19

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_;

walk
<03212> (8798)

in my statutes
<02708>_,

and keep
<08104> (8798)

my judgments
<04941>_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

them;

20:20

And hallow
<06942> (8761)

my sabbaths
<07676>_;

and they shall be a sign
<0226>

between me and you, that ye may know
<03045> (8800)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

20:21

Notwithstanding the children
<01121>

rebelled
<04784> (8686)

against me: they walked
<01980> (8804)

not in my statutes
<02708>_,

neither kept
<08104> (8804)

my judgments
<04941>

to do
<06213> (8800)

them, which [if] a man
<0120>

do
<06213> (8799)_,

he shall even live
<02425> (8804)

in them; they polluted
<02490> (8765)

my sabbaths
<07676>_:

then I said
<0559> (8799)_,

I would pour out
<08210> (8800)

my fury
<02534>

upon them, to accomplish
<03615> (8763)

my anger
<0639>

against them in the wilderness
<04057>_.

20:22

Nevertheless I withdrew
<07725> (8689)

mine hand
<03027>_,

and wrought
<06213> (8799)

for my name's
<08034>

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

in the sight
<05869>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

in whose sight
<05869>

I brought them forth
<03318> (8689)_.

20:23

I lifted up
<05375> (8804)

mine hand
<03027>

unto them also in the wilderness
<04057>_,

that I would scatter
<06327> (8687)

them among the heathen
<01471>_,

and disperse
<02219> (8763)

them through the countries
<0776>_;

20:24

Because they had not executed
<06213> (8804)

my judgments
<04941>_,

but had despised
<03988> (8804)

my statutes
<02708>_,

and had polluted
<02490> (8765)

my sabbaths
<07676>_,

and their eyes
<05869>

were after
<0310>

their fathers
<01>_'

idols
<01544>_.

20:25

Wherefore I gave
<05414> (8804)

them also statutes
<02706>

[that were] not good
<02896>_,

and judgments
<04941>

whereby they should not live
<02421> (8799)_;

20:26

And I polluted
<02930> (8762)

them in their own gifts
<04979>_,

in that they caused to pass through
<05674> (8687)

[the fire] all that openeth
<06363>

the womb
<07356>_,

that I might make them desolate
<08074> (8686)_,

to the end that they might know
<03045> (8799)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

20:27

Therefore, son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

speak
<01696> (8761)

unto the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Yet in this your fathers
<01>

have blasphemed
<01442> (8765)

me, in that they have committed
<04603> (8800)

a trespass
<04604>

against me. {committed...: Heb. trespassed a trespass}

20:28

[For] when I had brought
<0935> (8686)

them into the land
<0776>_,

[for] the which I lifted up
<05375> (8804)

mine hand
<03027>

to give
<05414> (8800)

it to them, then they saw
<07200> (8799)

every high
<07311> (8802)

hill
<01389>_,

and all the thick
<05687>

trees
<06086>_,

and they offered
<02076> (8799)

there their sacrifices
<02077>_,

and there they presented
<05414> (8799)

the provocation
<03708>

of their offering
<07133>_:

there also they made
<07760> (8799)

their sweet
<05207>

savour
<07381>_,

and poured out
<05258> (8686)

there their drink offerings
<05262>_.

20:29

Then I said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What [is] the high place
<01116>

whereunto ye go
<0935> (8802)_?

And the name
<08034>

thereof is called
<07121> (8735)

Bamah
<01117>

unto this day
<03117>_.

{I said...: or, I told them what the high place was, or, Bamah}

20:30

Wherefore say
<0559> (8798)

unto the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Are ye polluted
<02930> (8737)

after the manner
<01870>

of your fathers
<01>_?

and commit ye whoredom
<02181> (8802)

after
<0310>

their abominations
<08251>_?

20:31

For when ye offer
<05375> (8800)

your gifts
<04979>_,

when ye make your sons
<01121>

to pass through
<05674> (8687)

the fire
<0784>_,

ye pollute
<02930> (8737)

yourselves with all your idols
<01544>_,

even unto this day
<03117>_:

and shall I be enquired
<01875> (8735)

of by you, O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_?

[As] I live
<02416>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

I will not be enquired
<01875> (8735)

of by you.

20:32

And that which cometh
<05927> (8802)

into your mind
<07307>

shall not be at all, that ye say
<0559> (8802)_,

We will be
<01961> (8799)

as the heathen
<01471>_,

as the families
<04940>

of the countries
<0776>_,

to serve
<08334> (8763)

wood
<06086>

and stone
<068>_.

20:33

[As] I live
<02416>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

surely with a mighty
<02389>

hand
<03027>_,

and with a stretched out
<05186> (8803)

arm
<02220>_,

and with fury
<02534>

poured out
<08210> (8803)_,

will I rule
<04427> (8799)

over you:

20:34

And I will bring you out
<03318> (8689)

from the people
<05971>_,

and will gather
<06908> (8765)

you out of the countries
<0776>

wherein ye are scattered
<06327> (8738)_,

with a mighty
<02389>

hand
<03027>_,

and with a stretched out
<05186> (8803)

arm
<02220>_,

and with fury
<02534>

poured out
<08210> (8803)_.

20:35

And I will bring
<0935> (8689)

you into the wilderness
<04057>

of the people
<05971>_,

and there will I plead
<08199> (8738)

with you face
<06440>

to face
<06440>_.

20:36

Like as I pleaded
<08199> (8738)

with your fathers
<01>

in the wilderness
<04057>

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

so will I plead
<08199> (8735)

with you, saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

20:37

And I will cause you to pass
<05674> (8689)

under the rod
<07626>_,

and I will bring
<0935> (8689)

you into the bond
<04562>

of the covenant
<01285>_:

{bond: or, delivering}

20:38

And I will purge out
<01305> (8804)

from among you the rebels
<04775> (8802)_,

and them that transgress
<06586> (8802)

against me: I will bring them forth
<03318> (8686)

out of the country
<0776>

where they sojourn
<04033>_,

and they shall not enter
<0935> (8799)

into the land
<0127>

of Israel
<03478>_:

and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

20:39

As for you, O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Go
<03212> (8798)

ye, serve
<05647> (8798)

ye every one
<0376>

his idols
<01544>_,

and hereafter
<0310>

[also], if ye will not hearken
<08085> (8802)

unto me: but pollute
<02490> (8762)

ye my holy
<06944>

name
<08034>

no more with your gifts
<04979>_,

and with your idols
<01544>_.

20:40

For in mine holy
<06944>

mountain
<02022>_,

in the mountain
<02022>

of the height
<04791>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

there shall all the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

all of them in the land
<0776>_,

serve
<05647> (8799)

me: there will I accept
<07521> (8799)

them, and there will I require
<01875> (8799)

your offerings
<08641>_,

and the firstfruits
<07225>

of your oblations
<04864>_,

with all your holy things
<06944>_.

{firstfruits: or, chief}

20:41

I will accept
<07521> (8799)

you with your sweet
<05207>

savour
<07381>_,

when I bring you out
<03318> (8687)

from the people
<05971>_,

and gather
<06908> (8765)

you out of the countries
<0776>

wherein ye have been scattered
<06327> (8738)_;

and I will be sanctified
<06942> (8738)

in you before
<05869>

the heathen
<01471>_.

{sweet...: Heb. savour of rest}

20:42

And ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,

when I shall bring
<0935> (8687)

you into the land
<0127>

of Israel
<03478>_,

into the country
<0776>

[for] the which I lifted up
<05375> (8804)

mine hand
<03027>

to give
<05414> (8800)

it to your fathers
<01>_.

20:43

And there shall ye remember
<02142> (8804)

your ways
<01870>_,

and all your doings
<05949>_,

wherein ye have been defiled
<02930> (8738)_;

and ye shall lothe
<06962> (8738)

yourselves in your own sight
<06440>

for all your evils
<07451>

that ye have committed
<06213> (8804)_.

20:44

And ye shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,

when I have wrought
<06213> (8800)

with you for my name's
<08034>

sake, not according to your wicked
<07451>

ways
<01870>_,

nor according to your corrupt
<07843> (8737)

doings
<05949>_,

O ye house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

20:45

Moreover the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

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

20:46

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

set
<07760> (8798)

thy face
<06440>

toward
<01870>

the south
<08486>_,

and drop
<05197> (8685)

[thy word] toward the south
<01864>_,

and prophesy
<05012> (8734)

against the forest
<03293>

of the south
<05045>

field
<07704>_;

20:47

And say
<0559> (8804)

to the forest
<03293>

of the south
<05045>_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Behold, I will kindle
<03341> (8688)

a fire
<0784>

in thee, and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)

every green
<03892>

tree
<06086>

in thee, and every dry
<03002>

tree
<06086>_:

the flaming
<03852>

flame
<07957>

shall not be quenched
<03518> (8799)_,

and all faces
<06440>

from the south
<05045>

to the north
<06828>

shall be burned
<06866> (8738)

therein.

20:48

And all flesh
<01320>

shall see
<07200> (8804)

that I the LORD
<03068>

have kindled
<01197> (8765)

it: it shall not be quenched
<03518> (8799)_.

20:49

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I, Ah
<0162>
