Ezequiel 20:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 20:14

But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be
polluted before the Heathen (See Gill on Ezekiel 20:9); who would be ready to say it was for want of power, or faithfulness, or, goodness, that he did not bring them into the promised land; or there was no such land to bring them to God's own glory was concerned, and that is his ultimate end in all he does; and is of more weight with him than any other argument whatever: in whose sight I brought them out;
from Egypt, into the wilderness; this was done publicly in the sight of the Egyptians, they urging them to be gone.

Ezequiel 20:14 In-Context

12 Demais lhes dei também os meus sábados, para servirem de sinal entre mim e eles; a fim de que soubessem que eu sou o Senhor que os santifica.
13 Mas a casa de Israel se rebelou contra mim no deserto, não andando nos meus estatutos, e rejeitando as minhas ordenanças, pelas quais o homem viverá, se as cumprir; e profanaram grandemente os meus sábados; então eu disse que derramaria sobre eles o meu furor no deserto, para os consumir.
14 O que fiz, porém, foi por amor do meu nome, para que não fosse profanado � vista das nações perante as quais os fiz sair.
15 E, contudo, eu levantei a minha mão para eles no deserto, jurando que não os introduziria na terra que lhes tinha dado, que mana leite e mel, a qual é a glória de todas as terras;
16 porque rejeitaram as minhas ordenanças, e não andaram nos meus estatutos, e profanaram os meus sábados; pois o seu coração andava após os seus ídolos.
