If you obey me, then you will live in the land I have given to you and your ancestors.’ But you people have not paid attention to my message.
“‘But the family of Israel turned against me in the desert. They did not follow my laws. They refused to obey my rules. \{And they are good rules\}—if a person obeys those rules, then he will live.
