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 the LORD said to me, "Son of man, look toward the north." So I did. I saw a statue that made God angry. It was in the entrance of the gate north of the altar.

6 He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what the people of Israel are doing here? They are doing things I hate very much. Those things will cause me to go far away from my temple. But you will see things I hate even more."

7 Then he brought me to the entrance to the courtyard. I looked up and saw a hole in the wall.

8 He said to me, "Son of man, dig into the wall." So I did. And I saw a door there.

9 He continued, "Go through it. Look at the evil things they are doing here. I hate those things."
