“But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They did not walk in my statutes, and they rejected my judgments, which if a man does he shall live in them. And my sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I said I would pour out my fury on them in the wilderness to consume them.”
Again in the wilderness God's goodness was not sufficient to stir the people to obedience. Again they rebelled against Him. And they played havoc with the Sabbath (see Ezekiel 20:16 which suggests that it was their idol worship that did this, see also, for example, Numbers 15:32). So again God determined to bring His judgments on them (see Exodus 32:10; Numbers 14:11-12; Numbers 16:21; Numbers 16:45; Numbers 16:49; Numbers 21:6; Numbers 32:9-13).
‘Which if a man does he shall live in them.' See Leviticus 18:5; Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 4:10; Deuteronomy 5:16), and compare Psalms 19:7-11 and Psalms 119, especially Psalms 119:17; Psalms 119:25; Psalms 119:37; Psalms 119:40; Psalms 119:88; Psalms 119:92 etc.
