German SCH2000 Schlachter 2000 (Die Bibel (Schlachter 2000))
Sie aber waren widerspenstig gegen mich und wollten nicht auf mich hören; keiner von ihnen warf die Gräuel, die er vor seinen Augen hatte, weg, und die Götzen Ägyptens gaben sie nicht auf. Da nahm ich mir vor, meinen Grimm über sie auszuschütten und meinen Zorn an ihnen zu vollstrecken mitten im Land Ägypten.
Was bedeutet das?
In this verse, God is speaking and saying that the Israelites did not listen to Him and continued to worship false idols. This made God very angry, and He decided to pour out His fury on them in Egypt.
Für Kinder erklärt
Imagine you have a friend who promised to play with you but kept playing with their toys instead. You got upset and said, 'I won’t play with you anymore.' That’s how God felt when the Israelites kept worshipping other gods instead of Him.
Historischer Hintergrund
The Book of Ezekiel was written by the prophet Ezekiel in the 6th century BCE. This verse was written during a time when the Israelites were in exile in Babylon, reflecting back on their time in Egypt and their disobedience.
Anwendung für heute
When we continue to follow our own desires and ignore God’s commands, it can lead to negative consequences. Like a child who ignores their parent’s rules, we need to listen to God and follow His guidance.
