Ezechiele 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;

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.

7 Ed egli mi condusse all’ingresso del cortile. Io guardai, ed ecco un buco nel muro.

8 Allora egli mi disse: "Figliuol d’uomo, adesso fora il muro". E quand’io ebbi forato il muro, ecco una porta.

9 Ed egli mi disse: "Entra, e guarda le scellerate abominazioni che costoro commettono qui".

10 Io entrai, e guardai: ed ecco ogni sorta di figure di rettili e di bestie abominevoli, e tutti gl’idoli della casa d’Israele dipinti sul muro attorno attorno;
