Ezekiel 8:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 8:7

And he brought me to the door of the court
Of the inner court, the court of the priests and Levites. Dr. Lightfoot ^F24 says this was the east gate, and most common way of entrance; and in that gate the sanhedrim used to sit in these times; and there the prophet sees their council chamber painted about with imagery: and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall;
of one of the chambers of the priests and Levites, where they lay.

Ezekiel 8:7 In-Context

5 Then he said to me, "Human, now look toward the north." So I looked up toward the north, and in the entrance north of the gate of the altar was the idol that caused God to be jealous.

6 He said to me, "Human, do you see what they are doing? Do you see how many hateful things the people of Israel are doing here that drive me far away from my Temple? But you will see things more hateful than these."

7 Then he brought me to the entry of the courtyard. When I looked, I saw a hole in the wall.

8 He said to me, "Human, dig through the wall." So I dug through the wall and saw an entrance.

9 Then he said to me, "Go in and see the hateful, evil things they are doing here."
