“But the children
Rebelled
Against me.
They did not follow
My statutes.
They were not careful
To observe
My ordinances.
By their observance,
Everyone shall live.
They profaned
My Sabbath.”
This is the 3rd mention of a rebellion in this chapter. This time, even the children of those wandering in the desert rebelled. It seemed to be a major theme of Ezekiel in his history of the Israelites. In each case there was a rebellion. First there were those in Egypt, then those in the wilderness, and now the children of those in the wilderness. They failed to follow the statutes of Yahweh. They failed to observe his ordinances that gave life. Finally, they profaned his Sabbath.
