The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Tanach: Ezekiel 20: 14 But I wrought for My name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
Ezekiel 20: 15 Yet also I lifted up My hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the beauty of all lands;
Ezekiel 20: 16 because they rejected Mine ordinances, and walked not in My statutes, and profaned My sabbaths--for their heart went after their idols.
Ezekiel 20: 17 Nevertheless Mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.
Ezekiel 20: 18 And I said unto their children in the wilderness: Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols;
Ezekiel 20: 19 I am the LORD your God; walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do them;
Ezekiel 20: 20 and hallow My sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.
Ezekiel 20: 21 But the children rebelled against Me; they walked not in My statutes, neither kept Mine ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live by them; they profaned My sabbaths; then I said I would pour out My fury upon them, to spend My anger upon them in the wilderness.
Ezekiel 20: 22 Nevertheless I withdrew My hand, and wrought for My name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.
