Commentary on Ezekiel 20:5
'And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God.' This begins the historical review. God 'chose' (bachar) Israel—divine election, not human merit. 'Lifted up mine hand' signifies oath-taking. God's self-revelation in Egypt ('made myself known') and covenant formula ('I am the LORD your God') established relationship. Grace initiated the covenant.
