Ezequiel 20:24 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 20:24

Because they had not executed my judgments
Had not done that which was right and just, as the Lord commanded them: but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths;
as their fathers had done: and their eyes were after their fathers' idols;
which they had learned to serve in Egypt, or brought with them from thence; these the eyes and the hearts of their children were after, as theirs find been; and they were more desirous, encouraged, and emboldened to serve them, because they were their fathers'; but this would not excuse their sin; yea, it was rather an aggravation of it, that they should follow them in such practices, for which they had been often reproved and punished.

Ezequiel 20:24 In-Context

22 Pero me contuve en honor a mi nombre, para que no fuera profanado ante las naciones, las cuales me vieron sacarlos de Egipto.

23 También con la mano en alto les juré en el desierto que los dispersaría entre las naciones. Los esparciría entre los países

24 porque, obsesionados como estaban con los ídolos de sus antepasados, desobedecieron mis leyes, rechazaron mis decretos y profanaron mis sábados.

25 ¡Hasta les di decretos que no eran buenos y leyes que no daban vida!

26 Los contaminé con sus propias ofrendas, dejándolos ofrecer en sacrificio a sus primogénitos, para horrorizarlos y hacerles reconocer que yo soy el SEÑOR”.
