Ezekiel 20:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ That day I promised to bring them out of the land of Egypt to the land that I had explored for them—a land flowing with milk and honey. It’s the most beautiful of all lands. ⁷ Then I told them, ‘Each of you are to abandon your detestable practices.^[a] You are not to defile yourselves with Egypt’s idols. I am the Lord your God.’”’”
