In the day that I took them ( εν ημερα επιλαβομενου μου ).

Technical use of the genitive of the part affected.
To lead them forth ( εξαγαγειν αυτους ). Second aorist active infinitive of εξαγω to denote purpose.
For they continued not ( οτ αυτο ουκ ενεμειναν ). First aorist active indicative of εμμενω, old verb to remain in (Ac 14:22). The Israelites broke the covenant. Then God annulled it.
I regarded not ( ημελησα ). "I neglected" as in 2:3. The covenant was void when they broke it.
