Ezekiel 22:11 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 22:11

And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife,
&c.] The sin of adultery, which is an abominable sin; it is so to God, and it should be so to man: or, "a man hath committed" F3; some man of note, a great man; for this sin prevailed among the princes and nobles: or "everyone"; it being a general vice, which obtained among all ranks, high and low, rich and poor: and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law;
his wife's daughter, or his son's wife, contrary to ( Leviticus 18:15 Leviticus 18:17 ) : and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter:
his own sister, begotten of the same father, though it may be not born of the same mother; yet the relation is too near for marriage; and besides, it is a rape that is here intended; and the uncovering of the nakedness of a sister, whether by father or mother's side, whether born at home or abroad, is prohibited, ( Leviticus 18:9 ) , and some have thought that all these acts of uncleanness were committed in honour of their idols, and when they worshipped them on the mountains, ( Ezekiel 22:9 ) .

Ezekiel 22:11 In-Context

9 viri detractores fuerunt in te ad effundendum sanguinem et super montes comederunt in te scelus operati sunt in medio tui
10 verecundiora patris discoperuerunt in te inmunditiam menstruatae humiliaverunt in te
11 et unusquisque in uxorem proximi sui operatus est abominationem et socer nurum suam polluit nefarie frater sororem suam filiam patris sui oppressit in te
12 munera acceperunt apud te ad effundendum sanguinem usuram et superabundantiam accepisti et avare proximos tuos calumniabaris meique oblita es ait Dominus Deus
13 ecce conplosi manus meas super avaritiam tuam quam fecisti et super sanguinem qui effusus est in medio tui
