Ezekiel 20:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ I wanted my name to be honored. So I brought my people out of Egypt. I did it to keep my name from being treated as if it were not holy. I didn’t want this to happen in front of the nations around my people. I had made myself known to Israel in the sight of those nations. ¹⁰ So I led them out of Egypt. I brought them into the Desert of Sinai. ¹¹ I gave them my rules. I made my laws known to them. The person who obeys them will live by them.
