Ezekiel 20:12 in Context — Ezekiel 20

10 Et je les fis sortir du pays d’Égypte, et je les conduisis dans le désert.

11 Je leur donnai mes lois et leur fis connaître mes ordonnances, que l’homme doit mettre en pratique, afin de vivre par elles.

12 Je leur donnai aussi mes sabbats comme un signe entre moi et eux, pour qu’ils connussent que je suis l’Éternel qui les sanctifie.

13 Et la maison d’Israël se révolta contre moi dans le désert. Ils ne suivirent point mes lois, et ils rejetèrent mes ordonnances, que l’homme doit mettre en pratique, afin de vivre par elles, et ils profanèrent à l’excès mes sabbats. J’eus la pensée de répandre sur eux ma fureur dans le désert, pour les anéantir.

14 Néanmoins j’ai agi par égard pour mon nom, afin qu’il ne soit pas profané aux yeux des nations en présence desquelles je les avais fait sortir d’Égypte.
