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.

6 et dixit ad me fili hominis putasne vides tu quid isti faciant abominationes magnas quas domus Israhel facit hic ut procul recedam a sanctuario meo et adhuc conversus videbis abominationes maiores
7 et introduxit me ad ostium atrii et vidi et ecce foramen unum in pariete
8 et dixit ad me fili hominis fode parietem et cum perfodissem parietem apparuit ostium unum
