Ezekiel 20:36 Cross References - MSTC

³⁶ Like as I punished your forefathers in the wilderness, so will I punish you also, sayeth the LORD God.

⁷ Then the LORD said unto Moses, "Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, ⁸ have marred all: they are turned at once out of the way which I commanded them, and have made them a calf of molten metal, and have worshipped it and have offered thereto and have said, 'This is thy God thou Israel, which hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt.'" ⁹ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Behold, I see this people, that it is a stiffnecked people, ¹⁰ and now therefore suffer me that my wrath may wax hot upon them, and that I may consume them: and then will I make of thee a mighty people." ¹¹ Then Moses besought the LORD his God and said, "O LORD, why should thy wrath wax hot upon thy people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? ¹² Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, 'For a mischief did he bring them out: even for to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth.' Turn from thy fierce wrath, and have compassion over the wickedness of thy people. ¹³ Remember Abraham, Isaac and Israel thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thine own self and saidest unto them, 'I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land which I have said, I will give unto your seed: and they shall inherit it forever.'" ¹⁴ And the LORD refrained himself from that evil, which he said he would do unto his people. ¹⁵ And Moses turned his back and went down from the hill, and the two tables of witness in his hand: which were written on both the leaves ¹⁶ and were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God graven upon the tables. ¹⁷ And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, "There is a noise of war in the host." ¹⁸ And he said, "It is not the cry of them that have the mastery, nor of them that have the worse: but I do hear the noise of singing." ¹⁹ And as soon as he came nigh unto the host and saw the calf and the dancing, his wrath waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hand, and brake them even at the hill foot. ²⁰ And the took the calf which they had made and burned it with fire, and stamped it unto powder and strowed it in the water, and made the children of Israel drink. ²¹ And then Moses said unto Aaron, "What did this people unto thee that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?" ²² And Aaron said, "Let not the wrath of my lord wax fierce, thou knowest the people that they are even set on mischief. ²³ They said unto me, 'Make us a god to go before us, for we wot not what is become of Moses, the fellow that brought us out of the land of Egypt.' ²⁴ And I said unto them, 'Let them that have gold, take and bring it me': and I cast it into the fire, and thereof came out this calf." ²⁵ When Moses saw that the people were naked — for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame when they made insurrection - ²⁶ he went and stood in the gate of the host and said, "If any man pertain unto the LORD, let him come to me." And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together and came unto him. ²⁷ And he said unto them, "Thus sayeth the LORD of Israel, 'Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the host: and slay every man his brother, every man his friend and every man his neighbor." ²⁸ And the children of Levi did as Moses had said. And there were slain of the people the same day, about three thousand men. ²⁹ Then Moses said, "Fill your hands unto the LORD this day, every man upon his son and upon his brother: to bring upon you a blessing this day." ³⁰ And on the morrow, Moses said unto the people, "Ye have sinned a great sin. But now I will go up unto the LORD, to wit whether I can make an atonement for your sin." ³¹ And Moses went again unto the LORD and said, "O, this people have sinned a great sin and have made them a god of gold: ³² Yet forgive them their sin, I pray thee: If not, wipe me out of thy book which thou hast written." ³³ And the LORD said unto Moses, "I will put him out of my book that hath sinned against me. ³⁴ But go, and bring the people unto the land which I said unto thee, 'Behold, mine angel shall go before thee.' Neverthelater in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them." ³⁵ And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf; which Aaron made.

¹ And the people waxed unpatient, and it displeased the ears of the LORD. And when the LORD heard it, he was wroth, and the fire of the LORD burnt among them and consumed the uttermost of the host. ² And the people cried unto Moses, and he made intercession unto the LORD; and the fire quenched. ³ And they called the name of the place Taberah because the fire of the LORD burnt among them. ⁴ And the rascal people that was among them fell a lusting. And the children of Israel also went to, and wept, and said, "Who shall give us flesh to eat? ⁵ We remember the fish which we should eat in Egypt for nought, and of the cucumbers and melons, leeks, onions and garlic. ⁶ But now our souls are dried away, for our eyes look on nothing else, save upon Manna." ⁷ The Manna was as it had been coriander seed, and to see to like bdellium. ⁸ And the people went about and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars and boke it in pans and made cakes of it. And the taste of it was like unto the taste of an oilcake. ⁹ And when the dew fell about the host in the night, the Manna fell therewith. ¹⁰ And when Moses heard the people weep in their households every man in the door of his tent, then the wrath of the LORD waxed hot exceedingly: and it grieved Moses also. ¹¹ And Moses said unto the LORD, "Wherefore dealest thou so cruelly with thy servant? Wherefore do I not find favour in thy sight, seeing that thou puttest the weight of this people upon me? ¹² Have I conceived all this people, or have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, 'Carry them in thy bosom, as a nurse beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?' ¹³ Where should I have flesh to give unto all this people? For they weep unto me saying, 'Give us flesh that we may eat.' ¹⁴ I am not able to bear all this people alone, for it is too heavy for me. ¹⁵ Wherefore, if thou deal thus with me; kill me, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thy sight: and let me not see my wretchedness." ¹⁶ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Gather unto me seventy of the elders of Israel, which thou knowest that they are the elders of the people and officers over them, and bring them unto the tabernacle of witness, and let them stand there with thee. ¹⁷ And I will come down and talk with thee there, and take of the spirit which is upon thee and put upon them, and they shall bear with thee in the burden of the people, and so shalt thou not bear alone. ¹⁸ And say unto the people, 'Hallow your selves against tomorrow, that ye may eat flesh, for ye have whined in the ears of the LORD saying: Who shall give us flesh to eat? For we were happy when we were in Egypt! Therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat. ¹⁹ Ye shall not eat one day only, either two or five days, either ten or twenty days: ²⁰ but even a month long, and until it come out at the nostrils of you, that ye be ready to parbreak: because that ye have cast the LORD aside which is among you, and have wept before him saying: Why came we out of Egypt?" ²¹ And Moses said, "Six hundred thousand footmen are there of the people, among which I am. And thou hast said, 'I will give them flesh and they shall eat a month long.' ²² Shall the sheep and the oxen be slain for them to find them, either shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together to serve them?" ²³ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Is the LORD's hand waxed short? Thou shalt see whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not." ²⁴ And Moses went out and told the people the saying of the LORD, and gathered the seventy elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle. ²⁵ And the LORD came down in a cloud and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders. And as the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied and did nought else. ²⁶ But there remained two of the men in the host: the one called Eldad, and the other Medad. And the spirit rested upon them for they were of them that were written, but they went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the host. ²⁷ And there ran a young man and told Moses and said, "Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the host." ²⁸ And Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of Moses which he had chosen out, answered and said, "Master Moses, forbid them." ²⁹ And Moses said unto him, "Enviest thou for my sake? Would God that all the LORD's people could prophesy, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them." ³⁰ And then both Moses and the elders of Israel, gat them into the host. ³¹ And there went forth a wind from the LORD and brought quails from the sea and let them fall about the host, even a day's journey round about on every side of the host, and two cubits high upon the earth. ³² And the people stood up all that night and on the morrow, and gathered quails. And he that gathered the least, gathered ten homers full. And they killed them round about the host. ³³ And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, yer it was chewed up, the wrath of the LORD waxed hot upon the people, and the LORD slew of the people an exceeding mighty slaughter. ³⁴ And they called the name of the place, the graves of lust: because they buried the people that lusted there. ³⁵ And the people took their journey from the graves of lust unto Hazeroth, and bode at Hazeroth.

¹ And the multitude cried out, and the people wept throughout that night, ² and all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron. And the whole congregation said unto them, "Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt, either we would that we had died in this wilderness. ³ Wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land to fall upon the sword, that both our wives, and also our children should be a prey? Is it not better that we return unto Egypt again?" ⁴ And they said, one to another, "Let us make a captain and return unto Egypt again." ⁵ And Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the congregation of the multitude of the children of Israel. ⁶ And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes ⁷ and spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, "The land which we walked through to search it, is a very good land. ⁸ If the LORD have lust to us, he will bring us into this land and give it us, which is a land that floweth with milk and honey. ⁹ But in any wise, rebel not against the LORD. Moreover fear ye not the people of the land, for they are but bread for us. Their shield is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not therefore." ¹⁰ And all the whole multitude bade stone them with stones. But the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of witness, unto all the children of Israel. ¹¹ And the LORD said unto Moses, "How long shall this people rail upon me, and how long will it be, yer they believe me, for all my signs which I have showed among them? ¹² I will smite them with the pestilence and destroy them, and will make of thee a greater nation and a mightier than they." ¹³ And Moses said unto the LORD, "Then the Egyptians shall hear it, for thou broughtest this people with thy might from among them. ¹⁴ And it will be told to the inhabiters of this land also, for they have heard likewise, that thou the LORD art among this people, and that thou art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them and that thou goest before them by day time in a pillar of cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. ¹⁵ If thou shalt kill all this people as they were but one man then the nations which have heard the fame of thee, will speak, saying, ¹⁶ 'Because the LORD was not able to bring in this people into the land which he swore unto them, therefore he slew them in the wilderness.' ¹⁷ So now let the power of my LORD be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, ¹⁸ 'The LORD is long yer he be angry, and full of mercy, and suffereth sin and trespass, and leaveth no man innocent, and visiteth the unrighteousness of the fathers upon the children, even upon the third and fourth generation.' ¹⁹ Be merciful I beseech ye therefore, unto the sin of this people according unto thy great mercy, and according as thou hast forgiven this people from Egypt even unto this place." ²⁰ And the LORD said, "I have forgiven it, according to thy request. ²¹ But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with my glory. ²² For of all those men which have seen my glory and my miracles which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have tempted me now this ten times and have not hearkened unto my voice, ²³ there shall not one see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that railed upon me, see it. ²⁴ But my servant Caleb, because there is another manner spirit with him, and because he hath followed me unto the utmost: him I will bring into the land which he hath walked in, and his seed shall conquer it, ²⁵ and also the Amalekites and Canaanites which dwell in the low countries. Tomorrow turn you and get you into the wilderness: even the way toward the reed sea." ²⁶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, ²⁷ "How long shall this evil multitude murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel which they murmur against me. ²⁸ Tell them that the LORD sayeth, 'As truly as I live, I will do unto you even as ye have spoken in mine ears. ²⁹ Your carcasses shall lie in this wilderness, neither shall any of these numbers which were numbered from twenty years and above of you which have murmured against me ³⁰ come in to the land over which I lifted mine hand to make you dwell therein — save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. ³¹ And your children, which ye said should be a prey: them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have refused, ³² and your carcases shall lie in this wilderness. ³³ And your children shall wander in this wilderness forty years and suffer for your whoredom until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness, ³⁴ after the number of the days in which ye searched out the land forty days, and every day a year: so that they shall bear your unrighteousness forty years, and ye shall feel my vengeance. ³⁵ I, the LORD, have said that I will do it unto all this evil congregation that are gathered together against me: even in this wilderness ye shall be consumed, and here ye shall die." ³⁶ And the men which Moses sent to search the land, and which — when they came again — made all the people to murmur against it, in that they brought up a slander upon the land; ³⁷ died for their bringing up that evil slander upon it, and were plagued before the LORD. ³⁸ But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still. ³⁹ And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel, and the people took great sorrow. ⁴⁰ And they rose up early in the morning and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, "Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place of which the LORD said, for we have sinned." ⁴¹ And Moses said, "Wherefore will ye go on this manner beyond the word of the LORD? It will not come well to pass: ⁴² go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not slain before your enemies. ⁴³ For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye will fall upon the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, and therefore the LORD will not be with you." ⁴⁴ But they were blinded to go up into the hilltop: Neverthelater, the ark of the covenant of the LORD and Moses departed not out of the host. ⁴⁵ Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, came down and smote them and hewed them: even unto Hormah.

¹ And Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi; and Dathan and Abiram, the son of Eliab; and On the son of Peleth, the sons of Reuben, ² stood up before Moses, with other of the children of Israel: two hundred and fifty, heads of the congregation, and councilors, and men of fame. ³ And they gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, "Ye have done enough. For all the multitude are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them. Why therefore heave ye yourselves up above the congregation of the LORD?" ⁴ When Moses heard it, he fell upon his face ⁵ and spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, "Tomorrow the LORD will show who is his and who is holy, and will take them unto him, and whomsoever he hath chosen, he will cause to come to him. ⁶ This do: take firepans, thou Korah and all thy company, ⁷ and do fire therein and put cense thereto before the LORD tomorrow: And then whomsoever the LORD doeth chose, the same is holy. Ye make enough to do, ye children of Levi." ⁸ And Moses said unto Korah, "Hear, ye children of Levi: ⁹ Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the multitude of Israel to bring you to him, to do the service of the dwelling place of the LORD, and to stand before the people to minister unto them? ¹⁰ He hath taken thee to him and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee, and ye seek the office of the priest also. ¹¹ For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: for what is Aaron, that ye should murmur against him?" ¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and they answered, "We will not come. ¹³ Seemeth it a small thing unto thee that thou hast brought us out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness; but that thou shouldest reign over us also? ¹⁴ Moreover, thou hast brought us unto no land that floweth with milk and honey, neither hast given us possessions of fields or of vines. Either wilt thou pull out the eyes of these men? We will not come." ¹⁵ And Moses waxed very angry and said unto the LORD, "Turn not unto their offerings. I have not taken so much as an ass from them, neither have vexed any of them." ¹⁶ Then Moses said unto Korah, "Be thou and all thy company before the LORD: both thou, they, and Aaron tomorrow. ¹⁷ And take every man his censer and put cense in them, and come before the LORD every man with his censer: two hundred and fifty censers, and Aaron with his censer." ¹⁸ And they took every man his censer and put fire in them and laid cense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of witness, and Moses and Aaron also. ¹⁹ And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of witness. And the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation. ²⁰ And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, ²¹ "Separate yourselves from this congregation, that I may consume them at once." ²² And they fell upon their faces, and said, "O most mighty God of the spirits of all flesh; one man hath sinned, and wilt thou be wroth with all the multitude?" ²³ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ²⁴ "Speak unto the congregation, and say, 'Get you away from about the dwelling of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.'" ²⁵ And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him. ²⁶ And he spake unto the congregation, saying, "Depart from the tents of these wicked men and touch nothing of theirs: lest ye perish in all their sins." ²⁷ And they gat them from the dwelling of Korah, Dathan and Abiram, on every side. And Dathan and Abiram came out and stood in the door of their tents with their wives, their sons and their children. ²⁸ And Moses said, "Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works, and that I have not done them of mine own mind: ²⁹ If these men die the common death of all men or if they be visited after the visitation of all men, then the LORD hath not sent me. ³⁰ But and if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth and swallow them and all that pertain unto them, so that they go down quick in to hell: then ye shall understand, that these men have railed upon the LORD." ³¹ And as soon as he had made an end of speaking all these words, the ground clove asunder that was under them, ³² and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them and their houses and all the men that were with Korah and all their goods. ³³ And they and all that pertained unto them, went down alive unto hell, and the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the congregation. ³⁴ And all Israel that were about them, fled at the cry of them. For they said, "The earth might haply swallow us also." ³⁵ And there came out a fire from the LORD and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered cense. ³⁶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ³⁷ "Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest and let him take up the censers out of the burning and scatter the fire here and there, ³⁸ for the censers of these sinners are hallowed in their deaths: and let them be beaten into thin plates and fastened upon the altar. For they offered them before the LORD, and therefore they are holy and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel." ³⁹ And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers which they that were burnt had offered, and beat them and fastened them upon the altar, ⁴⁰ to be a remembrance unto the children of Israel, that no stranger which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer cense before the LORD, that he be not made like unto Korah and his company: as the LORD said unto him by the hand of Moses. ⁴¹ And on the morrow all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying, "Ye have killed the people of the LORD." ⁴² And when the multitude was gathered against Moses and Aaron, they looked toward the tabernacle of witness; And behold, the cloud had covered it and the glory of the LORD appeared. ⁴³ And Moses and Aaron went before the tabernacle of witness. ⁴⁴ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ⁴⁵ "Get you from this congregation, that I may consume them quickly." And they fell upon their faces. ⁴⁶ And Moses said unto Aaron, "Take a censer and put fire therein out of the altar, and pour on cense, and go quickly unto the congregation and make an atonement for them. For there is wrath gone out from the LORD, and there is a plague begun." ⁴⁷ And Aaron took as Moses commanded him, and ran unto the congregation: and behold, the plague was begun among the people, and he put on cense, and made an atonement for the people. ⁴⁸ And he stood between the dead, and them that were alive, and the plague ceased. ⁴⁹ And the number of them that died in the plague, were fourteen thousand and seven hundred: beside them that died about the business of Korah. ⁵⁰ And Aaron went again unto Moses, unto the door of the tabernacle of witness, and the plague ceased.

¹ And Israel dwelt in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab, ² which called the people unto the sacrifice of their gods. And the people ate, and worshipped their gods, ³ and Israel coupled himself unto Baal-Peor. Then the LORD was angry with Israel, ⁴ and said unto Moses, "Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up unto the LORD against the sun, that the wrath of the LORD may turn away from Israel." ⁵ And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, "Go and slay those men that joined themselves unto Baal- Peor." ⁶ And behold, one of the children of Israel went in against his brethren, and joined himself to a Midianitish woman, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the multitude of the children of Israel as they were weeping in the door of the tabernacle of witness. ⁷ And when Phinehas the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest saw it, he rose up out of the company and took a weapon in his hand, ⁸ and went after the man of Israel into the whorehouse, and thrust them through: both the man of Israel and also the woman even through the belly of her. And the plague ceased from the children of Israel. ⁹ And there died in the plague twenty four thousand. ¹⁰ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ¹¹ "Phinehas the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned mine anger away from the children of Israel, because he was jealous for my sake among them; that I had not consumed the children of Israel in my jealousy. ¹² Wherefore, say, 'Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace, ¹³ and he shall have it and his seed after him, even the covenant of the priest's office forever, because he was jealous for his God's sake and made an atonement for the children of Israel.'" ¹⁴ The name of the Israelite which was smitten with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a lord of an ancient house among the Simeonites. ¹⁵ And the name of the Midianitish woman was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur and head over the people of an ancient house in Midian. ¹⁶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ¹⁷ "Vex the Midianites and smite them, ¹⁸ for they have troubled you with their wiles with thee, which they have beguiled you, through Peor and through their sister Cozbi the daughter of a lord in Midian, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake."

¹⁵ And he gave them their desire, but sent leanness withal into their soul. ¹⁶ They angered Moses in the tents, and Aaron the saint of the LORD. ¹⁷ So the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the congregation of Abiram. ¹⁸ The fire was kindled in their company; the flame burnt up the ungodly. ¹⁹ They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. ²⁰ Thus they turned their glory into the similitude of a calf, that eateth hay. ²¹ They forgot God their Savior, which had done so great things in Egypt, ²² wondrous works in the land of Ham, and fearful things in the reed sea. ²³ So he said he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in that gap; to turn away his wrathful indignation, lest he should destroy them. ²⁴ Yea, they thought scorn of that pleasant land, and gave no credence unto his word, ²⁵ but murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD. ²⁶ Then lift he up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness, ²⁷ to cast out their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands. ²⁸ They joined themselves unto Baal-Peor, and ate the offerings of the dead. ²⁹ Thus they provoked him unto anger with their own inventions; and the plague was great among them. ³⁰ Then stood up Phinehas, and executed justice; and so the plague ceased. ³¹ And that was counted unto him for righteousness, among all posterities for evermore. ³² They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that he punished Moses for their sakes, ³³ because they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips. ³⁴ Neither destroyed they the Heathen, as the LORD commanded them, ³⁵ but were mingled among the Heathen, and learned their works - ³⁶ insomuch that they worshipped their idols, which turned to their own decay. ³⁷ Yea, they offered their sons and their daughters unto devils, ³⁸ and shed the innocent blood of their sons and of their daughters; whom they offered unto the idols of Canaan, so that the land was defiled with blood. ³⁹ Thus were they stained with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. ⁴⁰ Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance; ⁴¹ and gave them over into the hand of the Heathen; and they that hated them, were lords over them. ⁴² Their enemies oppressed them, and had them in subjection. ⁴³ Many a time did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their own inventions, and were brought down in their wickedness. ⁴⁴ Nevertheless, when he saw their adversity, he heard their complaint. ⁴⁵ He thought upon his covenant, and pitied them, according unto the multitude of his mercies; ⁴⁶ yea, he made all those that had led them away captive, to pity them. ⁴⁷ Deliver us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the Heathen; that we may give thanks unto thy holy name, and make our boast of thy praise. ⁴⁸ Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and world without end. And let all people say, "Amen, Amen." Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

¹³ And yet the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They would not walk in my commandments; they have cast away my laws, which whoso keepeth should live in them; and my Sabbath days have they greatly unhallowed. Then I made me to pour out my indignation upon them, and to consume them in the wilderness.

²¹ Notwithstanding, their sons rebelled against me also: they walked not in my statutes, they kept not my laws to fulfill them, which he that doth shall live in them; neither hallowed they my Sabbath days. Then I made me again to pour out my indignation over them, and to satisfy my wrath upon them in the wilderness.

⁵ But in many of them had God no delight. For they were overthrown in the wilderness. ⁶ These are examples to us that we should not lust after evil things, as they lusted. ⁷ Neither be ye worshippers of images as were some of them according as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up again to play." ⁸ Neither let us commit fornication as some of them committed fornication, and were destroyed — in one day, twenty three thousand. ⁹ Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted and were destroyed of serpents. ¹⁰ Neither murmur ye as some of them murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
