10 Therefore I led them out of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.
10 Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
10 So I led them out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.
10 And then I did it: I led them out of Egypt into the desert.
10 "Therefore I made them go out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.
10 So I brought them out of Egypt and led them into the wilderness.

Commentary on Ezekiel 20:10-26
(Read Ezekiel 20:10-26)
The history of Israel in the wilderness is referred to in the new Testament as well as in the Old, for warning. God did great things for them. He gave them the law, and revived the ancient keeping of the sabbath day. Sabbaths are privileges; they are signs of our being his people. If we do the duty of the day, we shall find, to our comfort, it is the Lord that makes us holy, that is, truly happy, here; and prepares us to be happy, that is, perfectly holy, hereafter. The Israelites rebelled, and were left to the judgments they brought upon themselves. God sometimes makes sin to be its own punishment, yet he is not the Author of sin: there needs no more to make men miserable, than to give them up to their own evil desires and passions.
