V.1 And it came to pass in the seventh 7637 year, 8141 in the fifth 2549 [month], the tenth 6218 [day] of the month, 2320 [that] certain 582 of the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 came 935-1 to enquire 1875-2 of the LORD, 3068 and sat 3427-4 before 6440 me.

20:2 Then came the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 unto me, saying, 559-2

20:3 Son 1121 of man, 120 speak 1696-16 unto the elders 2205 of Israel, 3478 and say 559-1 unto them, Thus saith 559-1 the Lord 136 GOD; 3069 Are ye come 935-6 to enquire 1875-2 of me? [As] I live, 2416 saith 5002-7 the Lord 136 GOD, 3069 I will not be enquired 1875-11 of by you.

20:4 Wilt thou judge 8199-4 them, son 1121 of man, 120 wilt thou judge 8199-4 [them]? cause them to know 3045-54 the abominations 8441 of their fathers: 1

20:5 And say 559-1 unto them, Thus saith 559-1 the Lord 136 GOD; 3069 In the day 3117 when I chose 977-2 Israel, 3478 and lifted up 5375-4 mine hand 3027 unto the seed 2233 of the house 1004 of Jacob, 3290 and made myself known 3045-11 unto them in the land 776 of Egypt, 4714 when I lifted up 5375-4 mine hand 3027 unto them, saying, 559-2 I [am] the LORD 3068 your God; 430

20:6 In the day 3117 [that] I lifted up 5375-1 mine hand 3027 unto them, to bring them forth 3318-53 of the land 776 of Egypt 4714 into a land 776 that I had espied 8446-1 for them, flowing 2100-6 with milk 2461 and honey, 1706 which [is] the glory 6643 of all lands: 776

20:7 Then said 559-4 I unto them, Cast ye away 7993-54 every man 376 the abominations 8251 of his eyes, 5869 and defile 2930-101 not yourselves with the idols 1544 of Egypt: 4714 I [am] the LORD 3068 your God. 430

20:8 But they rebelled 4784-55 against me, and would 14-1 not hearken 8085-2 unto me: they did not every man 376 cast away 7993-52 the abominations 8251 of their eyes, 5869 neither did they forsake 5800-1 the idols 1544 of Egypt: 4714 then I said, 559-4 I will pour out 8210-2 my fury 2534 upon them, to accomplish 3615-15 my anger 639 against them in the midst 8432 of the land 776 of Egypt. 4714

20:9 But I wrought 6213-4 for my name's 8034 sake, that it should not be polluted 2490-9 before 5869 the heathen, 1471 among 8432 whom they [were], in whose sight 5869 I made myself known 3045-8 unto them, in bringing them forth 3318-53 out of the land 776 of Egypt. 4714

20:10 Wherefore I caused them to go forth 3318-55 out of the land 776 of Egypt, 4714 and brought 935-55 them into the wilderness. 4057

20:11 And I gave 5414-4 them my statutes, 2708 and shewed 3045-52 them my judgments, 4941 which [if] a man 120 do, 6213-4 he shall even live 2425-1 in them.

20:12 Moreover also I gave 5414-1 them my sabbaths, 7676 to be a sign 226 between me and them, that they might know 3045- 2 that I [am] the LORD 3068 that sanctify 6942-18 them.

20:13 But the house 1004 of Israel 3478 rebelled 4784-55 against me in the wilderness: 4057 they walked 1980-1 not in my statutes, 2708 and they despised 3988-1 my judgments, 4941 which [if] a man 120 do, 6213-4 he shall even live 2425-1 in them; and my sabbaths 7676 they greatly 3966 polluted: 2490- 14 then I said, 559-4 I would pour out 8210-2 my fury 2534 upon them in the wilderness, 4057 to consume 3615-15 them.

20:14 But I wrought 6213-4 for my name's 8034 sake, that it should not be polluted 2490-9 before 5869 the heathen, 1471 in whose sight 5869 I brought them out. 3318-52

20:15 Yet also I lifted up 5375-1 my hand 3027 unto them in the wilderness, 4057 that I would not bring 935-53 them into the land 776 which I had given 5414-1 [them], flowing 2100-6 with milk 2461 and honey, 1706 which [is] the glory 6643 of all lands; 776

20:16 Because they despised 3988-1 my judgments, 4941 and walked 1980-1 not in my statutes, 2708 but polluted 2490-14 my sabbaths: 7676 for their heart 3820 went 1980-6 after 310 their idols. 1544

20:17 Nevertheless mine eye 5869 spared 2347-4 them from destroying 7843-15 them, neither did I make 6213-1 an end 3617 of them in the wilderness. 4057

20:18 But I said 559-4 unto their children 1121 in the wilderness, 4057 Walk 3212-4 ye not in the statutes 2706 of your fathers, 1 neither observe 8104-4 their judgments, 4941 nor defile 2930-101 yourselves with their idols: 1544

20:19 I [am] the LORD 3068 your God; 430 walk 3212-3 in my statutes, 2708 and keep 8104-3 my judgments, 4941 and do 6213-3 them;

20:20 And hallow 6942-16 my sabbaths; 7676 and they shall be a sign 226 between me and you, that ye may know 3045-2 that I [am] the LORD 3068 your God. 430

20:21 Notwithstanding the children 1121 rebelled 4784-55 against me: they walked 1980-1 not in my statutes, 2708 neither kept 8104-1 my judgments 4941 to do 6213-2 them, which [if] a man 120 do, 6213-4 he shall even live 2425-1 in them; they polluted 2490-14 my sabbaths: 7676 then I said, 559-4 I would pour out 8210-2 my fury 2534 upon them, to accomplish 3615-15 my anger 639 against them in the wilderness. 4057

20:22 Nevertheless I withdrew 7725-52 mine hand, 3027 and wrought 6213-4 for my name's 8034 sake, that it should not be polluted 2490-9 in the sight 5869 of the heathen, 1471 in whose sight 5869 I brought them forth. 3318-52

20:23 I lifted up 5375-1 mine hand 3027 unto them also in the wilderness, 4057 that I would scatter 6327-53 them among the heathen, 1471 and disperse 2219-15 them through the countries; 776

20:24 Because they had not executed 6213-1 my judgments, 4941 but had despised 3988-1 my statutes, 2708 and had polluted 2490-14 my sabbaths, 7676 and their eyes 5869 were after 310 their fathers' 1 idols. 1544

20:25 Wherefore I gave 5414-1 them also statutes 2706 [that were] not good, 2896 and judgments 4941 whereby they should not live; 2421-4

20:26 And I polluted 2930-17 them in their own gifts, 4979 in that they caused to pass through 5674-53 [the fire] all that openeth 6363 the womb, 7356 that I might make them desolate, 8074-55 to the end that they might know 3045-4 that I [am] the LORD. 3068

20:27 Therefore, son 1121 of man, 120 speak 1696-16 unto the house 1004 of Israel, 3478 and say 559-1 unto them, Thus saith 559-1 the Lord 136 GOD; 3069 Yet in this your fathers 1 have blasphemed 1442-14 me, in that they have committed 4603- 2 a trespass 4604 against me.

20:28 [For] when I had brought 935-55 them into the land, 776 [for] the which I lifted up 5375-1 mine hand 3027 to give 5414-2 it to them, then they saw 7200-4 every high 7311-6 hill, 1389 and all the thick 5687 trees, 6086 and they offered 2076-4 there their sacrifices, 2077 and there they presented 5414-4 the provocation 3708 of their offering: 7133 there also they made 7760-4 their sweet 5207 savour, 7381 and poured out 5258-55 there their drink offerings. 5262

20:29 Then I said 559-4 unto them, What [is] the high place 1116 whereunto ye go? 935-6 And the name 8034 thereof is called 7121-11 Bamah 1117 unto this day. 3117

20:30 Wherefore say 559-3 unto the house 1004 of Israel, 3478 Thus saith 559-1 the Lord 136 GOD; 3069 Are ye polluted 2930- 12 after the manner 1870 of your fathers? 1 and commit ye whoredom 2181-6 after 310 their abominations? 8251

20:31 For when ye offer 5375-2 your gifts, 4979 when ye make your sons 1121 to pass through 5674-53 the fire, 784 ye pollute 2930-12 yourselves with all your idols, 1544 even unto this day: 3117 and shall I be enquired 1875-11 of by you, O house 1004 of Israel? 3478 [As] I live, 2416 saith 5002-7 the Lord 136 GOD, 3069 I will not be enquired 1875-11 of by you.

20:32 And that which cometh 5927-6 into your mind 7307 shall not be at all, that ye say, 559-6 We will be 1961-4 as the heathen, 1471 as the families 4940 of the countries, 776 to serve 8334-15 wood 6086 and stone. 68

20:33 [As] I live, 2416 saith 5002-7 the Lord 136 GOD, 3069 surely with a mighty 2389 hand, 3027 and with a stretched out 5186-7 arm, 2220 and with fury 2534 poured out, 8210-7 will I rule 4427-4 over you:

20:34 And I will bring you out 3318-52 from the people, 5971 and will gather 6908-14 you out of the countries 776 wherein ye are scattered, 6327-8 with a mighty 2389 hand, 3027 and with a stretched out 5186-7 arm, 2220 and with fury 2534 poured out. 8210-7

20:35 And I will bring 935-52 you into the wilderness 4057 of the people, 5971 and there will I plead 8199-8 with you face 6440 to face. 6440

20:36 Like as I pleaded 8199-8 with your fathers 1 in the wilderness 4057 of the land 776 of Egypt, 4714 so will I plead 8199-11 with you, saith 5002-7 the Lord 136 GOD. 3069

20:37 And I will cause you to pass 5674-52 under the rod, 7626 and I will bring 935-52 you into the bond 4562 of the covenant: 1285

20:38 And I will purge out 1305-1 from among you the rebels, 4775-6 and them that transgress 6586-6 against me: I will bring them forth 3318-55 out of the country 776 where they sojourn, 4033 and they shall not enter 935-4 into the land 127 of Israel: 3478 and ye shall know 3045-1 that I [am] the LORD. 3068

20:39 As for you, O house 1004 of Israel, 3478 thus saith 559-1 the Lord 136 GOD; 3069 Go 3212-3 ye, serve 5647-3 ye every one 376 his idols, 1544 and hereafter 310 [also], if ye will not hearken 8085-6 unto me: but pollute 2490-17 ye my holy 6944 name 8034 no more with your gifts, 4979 and with your idols. 1544

20:40 For in mine holy 6944 mountain, 2022 in the mountain 2022 of the height 4791 of Israel, 3478 saith 5002-7 the Lord 136 GOD, 3069 there shall all the house 1004 of Israel, 3478 all of them in the land, 776 serve 5647-4 me: there will I accept 7521-4 them, and there will I require 1875-4 your offerings, 8641 and the firstfruits 7225 of your oblations, 4864 with all your holy things. 6944

20:41 I will accept 7521-4 you with your sweet 5207 savour, 7381 when I bring you out 3318-53 from the people, 5971 and gather 6908-14 you out of the countries 776 wherein ye have been scattered; 6327-8 and I will be sanctified 6942-8 in you before 5869 the heathen. 1471

20:42 And ye shall know 3045-1 that I [am] the LORD, 3068 when I shall bring 935-53 you into the land 127 of Israel, 3478 into the country 776 [for] the which I lifted up 5375-1 mine hand 3027 to give 5414-2 it to your fathers. 1

20:43 And there shall ye remember 2142-1 your ways, 1870 and all your doings, 5949 wherein ye have been defiled; 2930-8 and ye shall lothe 6962-8 yourselves in your own sight 6440 for all your evils 7451 that ye have committed. 6213-1

20:44 And ye shall know 3045-1 that I [am] the LORD, 3068 when I have wrought 6213-2 with you for my name's 8034 sake, not according to your wicked 7451 ways, 1870 nor according to your corrupt 7843-12 doings, 5949 O ye house 1004 of Israel, 3478 saith 5002-7 the Lord 136 GOD. 3069

20:45 Moreover the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying, 559-2

20:46 Son 1121 of man, 120 set 7760-3 thy face 6440 toward 1870 the south, 8486 and drop 5197-54 [thy word] toward the south, 1864 and prophesy 5012-10 against the forest 3293 of the south 5045 field; 7704

20:47 And say 559-1 to the forest 3293 of the south, 5045 Hear 8085-3 the word 1697 of the LORD; 3068 Thus saith 559-1 the Lord 136 GOD; 3069 Behold, I will kindle 3341-56 a fire 784 in thee, and it shall devour 398-1 every green 3892 tree 6086 in thee, and every dry 3002 tree: 6086 the flaming 3852 flame 7957 shall not be quenched, 3518-4 and all faces 6440 from the south 5045 to the north 6828 shall be burned 6866-8 therein.

20:48 And all flesh 1320 shall see 7200-1 that I the LORD 3068 have kindled 1197-14 it: it shall not be quenched. 3518- 4
