17. Yet I looked on them with pity and did not destroy them or put an end to them in the wilderness.
18. I said to their children in the wilderness, ‘Do not follow the statutes of your parents or keep their laws or defile yourselves with their idols.
19. I am the Lord your God; follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
20. Keep my Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.’
