Ezekiel 20:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

I, who spared them in Egypt, had brought them forth, and owned them as the children of Abraham my friend: God gave his law by Moses, and now Israel's laws are really of Divine origin, when others did but pretend it. Gave them; appointed and commanded by my authority, and communicated out of my love and kindness to them. My statutes; the law on Mount Sinai, containing their duty. Showed them; plainly declared, spake so that they might know. My judgments; not the terrible executions of his wrath, but judgments here are the rules that God gave them to walk by. If a man do; if any one, without partiality, whosoever should keep these statutes and judgments with God is no respect of persons. He shall live: not that any ever did or could by sinless keeping the law attain the eternal blessedness; grace gives that; but it surely points out a future prosperity and flourishing state in this life to all that are careful to keep these statutes and judgments as they can; such should not be cut off, nor brought into captivity, but live and rejoice in their own land. In them; both in the fruit of them already obeyed, and in the continuance to do them for the future.
