Compare all
5 “Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On the day when aI chose Israel and raised My hand in an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob, and made Myself bknown to them in the land of Egypt, I raised My hand in an oath to them, saying, c‘I am the Lord your God.’  
6 On that day I raised My hand in an oath to them, ato bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, b‘flowing with milk and honey,’ cthe glory of all lands.  
7 Then I said to them, ‘Each of you, athrow away bthe abominations which are before his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with cthe idols of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’  
8 But they rebelled against Me and would not1 obey Me. They did not all cast away the abominations which were before their eyes, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said, ‘I will apour out My fury on them and fulfill My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.’  
9 aBut I acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned before the Gentiles among whom they were, in whose sight I had made Myself bknown to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.  
10 “Therefore I amade them go out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.  
11 aAnd I gave them My statutes and1 showed them My judgments, b‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them.’
