Ezequiel 16:21 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:21

That thou hast slain my children
By creation, as all born into the world are; and by national adoption, as all the Jewish children were; and particularly the firstborn were eminently his, and which are here designed, as Jarchi interprets it; for they were the children that were slain and sacrificed to Molech; see ( Ezekiel 20:26 ) ; and delivered, them to cause them to pass through [the fire] for them?
for the sake of idols, for the worship of them; this they did before they were slain; they first caused them to pass through between two fires, and so dedicated them to the idol, and then slew them; or slew them by burning them in the fire, or by putting them into the arms of the "idol", made burning hot.

23 “Ai! Ai de vocĂȘ! Palavra do Soberano, o SENHOR. Somando-se a todas as suas outras maldades,
