observe their rulings, nor defile yourselves with their
idols:
19 I am vuvh your Elohim; have your halacha in My
chukim, and keep My mishpatim, and do them;
20 And set-apart My Shabbats; and they shall be an ot
between Me and you, that you may know that I am vuvh
your Elohim.
21 Notwithstanding the children rebelled against Me:
they had not their halacha in My chukim, neither kept My
mishpatim to do them, which if a man does, he shall even
live in them; they defiled My Shabbats: then I said, I
would pour out My anger upon them, to accomplish My
anger against them in the wilderness.
22 Nevertheless I withdrew My hand, and acted for My
Name's sake, that it should not be defiled in the sight of
the gentiles, in whose sight I brought them out.
23 I lifted up My hand to them also in the wilderness, that
I would scatter them among the gentiles, and disperse
them throughout the countries;
24 Because they had not executed My mishpatim, but had
despised My chukim, and had defiled My Shabbats, and
their eyes were seeking after their ahvot’s idols.
25 Therefore I gave them also chukim that were not tov,
and mishpatim by which they should not live; 2423
26 And I defiled them in their own gifts, in that they
caused to pass through the fire all the bachorim, that I
might stun them, so that they might know that I am vuvh;
27 Therefore, Ben-adam, speak to Beit Yisrael, and say to
them, This says the Master vuvh; Yet in this your ahvot
have blasphemed Me, in that they have committed a
trespass against Me.
28 For when I had brought them into the land, for the
which I lifted up My hand to give it to them, then they saw
every high hill, and all the thick eytzim, and they offered
there their sacrifices, and there they presented the
provocation of their offering: there also they made their
sweet fragrances, and poured out there their drink
offerings.
29 Then I said to them, What is the high place where you
are going? And so the name of it is called Bamah-Shrine
of Idols up to this day.
30 Therefore say to Beit Yisrael, This says the Master
vuvh; Are you defiling yourselves after the manner of
your ahvot? And are you whoring after their
abominations?
31 For when you offer your gifts, when you make your
sons to pass through the fire, you defile yourselves with
all your idols, even to this day: and shall I be sought for
by you, O Beit Yisrael? As I live, says the Master vuvh, I
will not be sought for by you.
32 And that which comes into your mind shall not be at
all, when you say, We will be as the gentiles, as the
mishpachot of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
33 As I live, says the Master vuvh, surely with a mighty
hand, and with an outstretched Arm, and with anger
poured out, will I rule over you:
34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will
gather you out of the countries where you are scattered,
2424 with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched Arm,
and with anger poured out.
35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people,
and there will I plead with you face to face. 2425
36 Like I pleaded with your ahvot in the wilderness of the
YECHEZKEL - EZEKIEL
- 355 -
land of Mitzrayim, so will I plead with you, says the
Master vuvh.
37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will
bring you into the bond of the brit: 2426
38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and
them that transgress against Me: I will bring them out of
the countries where they sojourn, and they shall not enter
into the land of Yisrael: and you shall know that I am
vuvh. 2427
39 As for you, O Beit Yisrael, this says the Master vuvh; if
you will not listen to Me then go and serve everyone his
idols, in the future also: but do not defile My kadosh
Name any more with your gifts, and with your idols. 2428
40 For on My kadosh mountain, in the mountain on the
height of Yisrael, says the Master vuvh, there all Beit
Yisrael, all of them in the land, shall serve Me: there will
I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and
the bikkurim of your offerings, with all your kadosh gifts.
41 I will accept you with your sweet fragrances, when I
bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the
countries in which you have been scattered; and I will be
kadosh in you before the gentiles.
42 And you shall know that I am vuvh, when I shall bring
you into the land of Yisrael, into the country for which I
lifted up My hand to give it to your ahvot.
43 And there shall you remember your halachot, and all
your doings, in which you have been defiled; and you
shall despise yourselves in your own sight for all your
evils that you have committed.
44 And you shall know that I am vuvh, when I have
worked with you for My Name's sake, not according to
your wicked halachot, nor according to your corrupt
doings, O Beit Yisrael, says the Master vuvh.
45 Moreover the word of vuvh came to me, saying,
46 Ben-adam, set your face toward the south, and drop
your word toward the south, and prophesy against the
forest of the south field;
47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of
vuvh; This says the Master vuvh; See, I will kindle a fire
in you, and it shall devour every green eytz in you, and
every dry eytz: the flaming flame shall not be quenched,
and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned
in it. 2429
48 And all flesh shall see that I vuvh have lit it: it shall
not be quenched.
49 Then said I, Oy, Master vuvh! They say of me, Does
he not speak in parables?
And the word of vuvh came to me, saying,
2 Ben-adam, set your face toward Yahrushalayim, and
drop your word toward the kadosh places, and prophesy
against the land of Yisrael,
3 And say to the land of Yisrael, This says vuvh; See, I am
against you, and will draw out My sword out of its sheath,
and will cut off from you the tzadik and the wicked.
4 Seeing then that I will cut off from you the tzadik and
the wicked, therefore shall My sword go out of its sheath
against all flesh from the south to the north: 2430
21
5 That all flesh may know that I vuvh have drawn out My
sword out of its sheath: it shall not return any more.
6 Sigh therefore, you Ben-adam, with the breaking of
your insides; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
7 And it shall be, when they say to you, Why do you sigh?
