10. They kept not the covenant of God. Vows and
promises were broken, idols set up, and the living God was forsaken. They were
brought out of Egypt in order to be a people separated unto the Lord, but they
fell into the sins of other nations, and did not maintain a pure testimony for
the one only true God. And refused to walk in his law. They gave way to
fornication, idolatry, and other violations of the Decalogue, and were often in
a state of rebellion against the benign theocracy under which they lived. They
had pledged themselves at Sinai to keep the law, and then they willfully
disobeyed it.
