10So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
11I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them.
12Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.
13But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they didn't walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keep, he shall live in them; and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.
14But I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
15Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;
16because they rejected my ordinances, and didn't walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
17Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn't destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.
18I said to their children in the wilderness, Don't walk in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
19I am Yahweh your God: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them;
20and make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am Yahweh your God.
