According to their uncleanness
Not ceremonial, but moral; they were an impure and adulterous
generation, as our Lord calls them, ( Matthew
12:39 ) ( 16:4 ) :
and according to their transgressions have I done unto
them;
or "rebellions", as the Targum renders it; or defections, as the
word F11 signifies; their rebellions against
the King Messiah; their defections from him; their contempt of
him, and rejection of his yoke, and non-submission to his
ordinances; according to the desert of such crimes, the Lord
dealt with them;
``took vengeance on them,''as the Targum is; in the destruction of their nation, city, and temple: "and hid my face from them"; or caused his Shechaniah to remove from them, as the same paraphrase; (See Gill on Ezekiel 39:23).
