Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.
Because they have done what is evil in my eyes and have made me angry, from the day their ancestors left Egypt until now.
God is explaining that His people have been consistently disobedient and rebellious throughout their entire history, from the time they left Egypt until the present moment.
📚 Historical Context
This verse is from the account of King Manasseh's reign in 2 Kings, where he led Judah into widespread idolatry and practices that directly opposed God's commands, resulting in divine judgment. It underscores that the people's sins were not isolated but had persisted from the time their ancestors escaped Egypt, highlighting a centuries-long pattern of rebellion. This reflects the biblical theme of God's covenant faithfulness being tested by human unfaithfulness throughout Israel's history.
