Yes, great indeed was the patience Jehovah God showed in his dealings with the Israelites from the time when he brought them forth as a nation at the foot of Mount Sinai until their waywardness compelled him to cast them off completely.
Tõepoolest, kannatlikkus, mida Jehoova Jumal iisraellastega tegeldes üles näitas, oli suur, alates sellest, kui ta nad Siinai mäe jalamil rahvana esile tõi, kuni selleni, mil nende isemeelsus teda neid täielikult kõrvale heitma sundis.
