Ezequiel 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.

Ezequiel 8:8 In-Context

6 E ele me disse: “Filho do homem, você vê o que estão fazendo? As práticas repugnantes da nação de Israel, coisas que me levarão para longe do meu santuário? Mas você verá práticas ainda piores que estas”.

7 Em seguida me levou para a entrada do pátio. Olhei e vi um buraco no muro.

8 Ele me disse: “Filho do homem, agora escave o muro”. Escavei o muro e vi ali a abertura de uma porta.

9 Ele me disse: “Entre e veja as coisas repugnantes e más que estão fazendo”.

10 Eu entrei e olhei. Lá, desenhadas por todas as paredes, vi todo tipo de criaturas rastejantes e animais impuros e todos os ídolos da nação de Israel.
