What did God tell Israel after bringing them out of Egypt?
God told Israel after bringing them out of Egypt that they were different, that He would make them different and set them apart. He instructed them to have nothing to do with the pagan nations around them and not to intermarry with them.
Les explains that as soon as God pulled Israel out of Egypt, He told them, "You're different. I'm going to make you different. I'm going to set you apart." God then began instructing them to have nothing to do with the pagans around them, not to intermarry with them, and to have nothing to do with them. This separation made it hard for the Jews of Paul's day to come out of that tradition that they were different and then hear Paul say there is no difference, because in Romans 3 all have sinned.
