2 Crônicas 29:6

6 Nossos pais foram infiéis; fizeram o que o SENHOR, o nosso Deus, reprova e o abandonaram. Desviaram o rosto do local da habitação do SENHOR e deram-lhe as costas.

2 Crônicas 29:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 29:6

For our fathers have transgressed, and done that which was evil
in the eyes of the Lord our God
Meaning their more immediate ancestors, his father and theirs, who had committed idolatry; which is a great trespass, and than which there is not a greater evil in the sight of God, nor more provoking to him:

and have forsaken him;
his word, worship, and ordinances:

and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the Lord;
the temple, by neglecting that, and the service of it, and attending the high places: and turned their backs; upon it; though some think this refers to a rite or custom, introduced by Ahaz before he shut up the temple, that instead of looking to the west, when they worshipped, where was the ark of the Lord, he ordered them to turn their faces to the east, where his altar stood.

2 Crônicas 29:6 In-Context

4 Convocou os sacerdotes e os levitas, reuniu-os na praça que fica no lado leste
5 e disse: “Escutem-me, levitas! Consagrem-se agora e consagrem o templo do SENHOR, o Deus dos seus antepassados. Retirem tudo o que é impuro do santuário.
6 Nossos pais foram infiéis; fizeram o que o SENHOR, o nosso Deus, reprova e o abandonaram. Desviaram o rosto do local da habitação do SENHOR e deram-lhe as costas.
7 Também fecharam as portas do pórtico e apagaram as lâmpadas. Não queimaram incenso nem apresentaram holocausto no santuário para o Deus de Israel.
8 Por isso a ira do SENHOR caiu sobre Judá e sobre Jerusalém; e ele fez deles objeto de espanto, horror e zombaria, conforme vocês podem ver com os seus próprios olhos.
