Ezekiel 23:38 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:38

Moreover this they have done unto me
. The following piece of wickedness, which was very provoking to the Lord: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day;
as they caused their children to pass through the tire to their idols, by entering into the sanctuary when they had so done, and were thus defiled, and by offering sacrifices to their idols in it; or under pretence of serving the Lord, when they had just been guilty of murder and idolatry: and have profaned my sabbaths;
not only by doing their own worldly and civil business, but by slaying their infants on those days, and sacrificing them to idols.

Ezekiel 23:38 In-Context

36 The LORD said to me, "Son of man, are you going to judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then tell them they have done many evil things. I hate those things

37 They have committed adultery. Their hands are covered with the blood of the people they have murdered. They have worshiped other gods. They have not been faithful to me. They have even sacrificed their children as food to other gods. Those children belonged to me.

38 "Here are some other things the sisters have done to me. They have polluted my temple. They have misused my Sabbath days

39 They have sacrificed their children to their gods. On that same day they entered my temple and polluted it. That is what they have done in my house.

40 "They even sent messengers to bring men from far away. When the men arrived, Oholibah took a bath. She put makeup on her eyes. She put her jewelry on.
