Ezechiele 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.

Ezechiele 8:8 In-Context

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.

7 Ed egli mi condusse all’entrata del cortile, ed io riguardai, ed ecco un buco nella parete.

8 Ed egli mi disse: Figliuol d’uomo, fa’ ora un foro in questa parete. Ed io feci un foro nella parete; ed ecco un uscio.

9 Ed egli mi disse: Entra, e vedi le scellerate abbominazioni ch’essi commettono qui.

10 Io dunque entrai, e riguardai; ed ecco delle figure di rettili, e d’animali d’ogni specie, cosa abbominevole; e tutti gl’idoli della casa d’Israele, ritratti in su la parete attorno attorno.
