Ezekiel 22
1. A catalogue of sins in Jerusalem, and the dispersion of the Jews in consequence
17. God will burn them as dross in his furnace
23. The general corruption of prophets, priests, princes, and the people














In you
This phrase indicates the location or context of the sin, which is within the community of Israel. The prophet Ezekiel is addressing the people of Jerusalem, highlighting that these transgressions are not foreign but are occurring among God's chosen people. The Hebrew word for "in you" (בָּךְ, bak) emphasizes the internal nature of the corruption, suggesting a deep-seated moral decay within the society that was meant to be holy and set apart for God.

they have uncovered the nakedness of their fathers
This phrase refers to a violation of familial and sexual boundaries, likely alluding to Levitical laws that prohibit incestuous relationships (Leviticus 18:7-8). The Hebrew word for "uncovered" (גָּלָה, galah) implies a deliberate act of exposure and shame. In ancient Near Eastern culture, such acts were considered not only immoral but also a dishonor to family and community. The "nakedness of their fathers" symbolizes a breach of respect and sanctity within the family unit, which was foundational to Israelite society.

they violate women during their impurity
This phrase addresses the sin of engaging in sexual relations with women during their menstrual period, which was explicitly forbidden in Levitical law (Leviticus 18:19). The Hebrew word for "violate" (עָנָה, anah) can mean to humble or afflict, indicating a disregard for the dignity and sanctity of women. The term "impurity" (נִדָּה, niddah) refers to the state of ritual uncleanness associated with menstruation. This act not only disrespects the women but also defiles the community, as it contravenes the laws given by God to maintain holiness and purity among His people.

Verse 10. - This, well-nigh the vilest of all forms of incest, against which the horror naturalis of the heathen, as in the story of Hippolytus, uttered its protest, would seem to have been common among the corruptions of Israel (Amos 2:7; comp. 1 Corinthians 5:1). (For the sin described in the second clause, see notes on Ezekiel 18:6.)
