Ezechiele 8:4 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 8:4

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel [was] there
In the temple, between the cherubim, where the Shechinah or the glory of the divine Majesty dwelt; for as yet he had not removed, though provoked to it, and as he afterwards did; or he was here to destroy the idols, and both city and temple, for the idolatry of the people; or this is here mentioned, to show the baseness and wickedness of the people, that they should place an idol where the Lord himself was: according to the vision that I saw in the plain;
it was the same glorious Person he saw in the temple whom he had before seen in the plain, ( Ezekiel 3:22 Ezekiel 3:23 ) ; and that was the same he had seen in the vision by the river Chebar, ( Ezekiel 1:3 Ezekiel 1:28 ) .

Ezechiele 8:4 In-Context

2 Ed io riguardai, ed ecco la sembianza d’un uomo simile in vista al fuoco; dall’apparenza de’ lombi di esso in giù, vi era fuoco; e da’ lombi in su, vi era come l’apparenza d’un grande splendore, simile al colore di fin rame scintillante.
3 Ed egli stese una sembianza di mano, e mi prese per la chioma della mia testa; e lo Spirito mi levò fra cielo e terra, e mi menò in Gerusalemme, in visioni di Dio, all’entrata della porta di dentro, che guarda verso il Settentrione, dove era la cappella dell’idolo di gelosia, che provoca a gelosia.
4 Ed ecco, quivi era la gloria dell’Iddio d’Israele, simile alla visione che io avea veduta nella campagna.
5 Ed egli mi disse: Figliuol d’uomo, leva ora gli occhi tuoi verso il Settentrione. Ed io levai gli occhi miei verso il Settentrione; ed ecco, dal Settentrione, alla porta dell’altare, all’entrata, era quell’idolo di gelosia.
6 Ed egli mi disse: Figliuol d’uomo, vedi tu ciò che costoro fanno? le grandi abbominazioni che la casa d’Israele commette qui; acciocchè io mi dilunghi dal mio santuario? ma pur di nuovo vedrai ancora altre grandi abbominazioni.
