23 And the word of Yahweh came[a] to me, saying,[b] 24 “Son of man,[c] the inhabitants of these ruins on the soil of Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was one man, and he took possession of the land, and we are many; the land has been given for[d] us as a possession.’ 25 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “You eat blood in your meat, and you raise your eyes to your idols and you pour out blood, and yet you want to take possession of the land?[e] 26 You rely on your sword, you do a detestable thing, and each man defiles[f] the wife of his neighbor, and yet you want to take possession of the land?”’[g]
