Ezequiel 8:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 8:8

Then said he unto me, son of man, dig now in the wall
And so make the hole larger; that he might have a fuller view of what was to be seen within the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door;
an opening, by which he could go into the cell or chamber, and take a full view of what was to be seen there. All this was visionary, for in reality the prophet did not dig, nor could he, not having anything to dig with; but so things appeared to his mind in the vision: first a little hole, by which he could discern there was a room; then, by making use of some means, a large door appeared, at which there was an entrance into it.

Ezequiel 8:8 In-Context

6 E ele me disse: Filho do homem, vês tu o que eles estão fazendo? as grandes abominações que a casa de Israel faz aqui, para que me afaste do meu santuário; Mas verás ainda outras grandes abominações.

7 E levou-me � porta do átrio; então olhei, e eis que havia um buraco na parede.

8 Então ele me disse: Filho do homem, cava agora na parede. E quando eu tinha cavado na parede, eis que havia uma porta.

9 Disse-me ainda: Entra, e vê as ímpias abominações que eles fazem aqui.

10 Entrei, pois, e olhei: E eis que toda a forma de répteis, e de animais abomináveis, e todos os ídolos da casa de Israel, estavam pintados na parede em todo o redor.
