“‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: On the day I chose Israel I swore ¹  to the descendants ²  of the house of Jacob and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt. I swore ³  to them, “I am the Lord your God.” 20:6 On that day I swore ⁴  to bring them out of the land of Egypt to a land which I had picked out ⁵  for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, ⁶  the most beautiful of all lands. 20:7 I said to them, “Each of you must get rid of the detestable idols you keep before you, ⁷  and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.” 20:8 But they rebelled against me, and refused to listen to me; no one got rid of their detestable idols, ⁸  nor did they abandon the idols of Egypt. Then I decided to pour out ⁹  my rage on them and fully vent my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
