Wesley's Notes

20:8 To accomplish - To make an end of them.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

8, 9. then I said, I will . But, &c.-that is, (God speaking in condescension to human modes of conception) their spiritual degradation deserved I should destroy them, "but I wrought (namely, the deliverance 'out of . Egypt') for My name's sake"; not for their merits (a rebuke to their national pride). God's "name" means the sum-total of His perfections. To manifest these, His gratuitous mercy abounding above their sins, yet without wrong to His justice, and so to set forth His glory, was and is the ultimate end of His dealings (Eze 20:14, 22; 2Sa 7:23; Isa 63:12; Ro 9:17).

Ezekiel 20:13 "But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness.
