10 ‘»»So I led them out of Egypt into the desert.
11 ‘»»I gave them my laws and made my rules known to them. If people obey them they will live.
12 ‘»»I also gave them certain days to worship me as a sign between us so that they would know that I, Jehovah, made them holy.
13 ‘»»But the people of Israel rebelled against me in the desert. They did not live by my laws. They rejected my rules. If people obey them, they will live. They dishonored the days to worship me. So I was going to pour out my fury on them in the desert and completely wipe them out.
14 ‘»»I acted so that my name would not be dishonored among the nations who had watched me bring the Israelites out of Egypt.
15 ‘»»I also swore an oath to them in the desert. I swore that I would not bring them into the land that I had promised to give them. This land is the most beautiful land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
16 ‘»»They rejected my rules. They did not live by my laws. They dishonored the days to worship me, because their hearts chased disgusting idols.
17 ‘»»But I had compassion on them. I did not destroy them or completely wipe them out in the desert.
