“Then Yahweh
Became jealous
For his land.
He had pity
On his people.”
Yahweh then responded to the people. He was jealous for his land. He had pity on the people of Israel.
Yahweh has pity
Yahweh has pity (Ezek 20:17-20:17)
“Nevertheless my eye
Spared them.
I did not
Destroy them.
I did not
Make an end
Of them
In the wilderness.”
However, Yahweh had pity on them. He spared these rebellious people. He did not destroy them. He did not bring them to an end out there in the wilderness.
