Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 8:1-18

8:1-24:27 THE SINS OF JERUSALEMIdolatry in the temple (8:1-18)A year and two months had now passed since God called Ezekiel to be a prophet. By this time people recognized him as a prophet, and leaders among the exiles came to discuss their affairs with him (8:1; cf. 1:1-2). While the leaders were sitting talking with him, Ezekiel was suddenly caught up by the Spirit of God and taken, as it were, to Jerusalem (2-3).Ezekiel knew immediately that these visions were from God, because the first... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 8:3

Ezekiel 8:3. Took me by a lock, &c.— By that time the sins of this rebellious people were ripe for the punishment of their approaching captivity: they had polluted themselves with all kinds of Egyptian abominations, as appears from this famous vision of the prophet, wherein their three capital idolatries are so graphically described. The prophet represents himself as brought in a vision to Jerusalem. And at the door of the inner gate which looketh toward the north, he saw the seat of the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 8:3

3. Instead of prompting him to address directly the elders before him, the Spirit carried him away in vision (not in person bodily) to the temple at Jerusalem; he proceeds to report to them what he witnessed: his message thus falls into two parts: (1) The abominations reported in :-. (2) The dealings of judgment and mercy to be adopted towards the impenitent and penitent Israelites respectively ( :-). The exiles looked hopefully towards Jerusalem and, so far from believing things there to be... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 8:3

In his vision Ezekiel saw God reach out and pick him up by his hair and transport him to Jerusalem by the Spirit. The Lord placed him down at the north gate of the inner court of the temple where there was an image of an idol (cf. Deuteronomy 4:16). King Jotham (750-732 B.C.) had built this gate, which apparently did not exist when Solomon first constructed the temple (2 Kings 15:35). Other names for it were the upper Benjamin gate (Jeremiah 20:2), the new gate (Jeremiah 26:10; Jeremiah 36:10),... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 8:1-18

The Idolatry of JerusalemVarious forms of idolatry, increasing in heinousness and rising to a climax, were seen practised in the precincts of the Temple. First there was the ’image of jealousy’ (Ezekiel 8:3-6), next a species of secret animal-worship (Ezekiel 8:7-12), then the lamentation of the women for Tammuz (Ezekiel 8:13-15), and lastly the worship of the sun (Ezekiel 8:16-18).1.

§ 3. A Vision of Jerusalem’s Sin and Doom (Ezekiel 8-11)Date, August-September, 591 b.c.A year and two months after his call to be a prophet, Ezekiel was visited in his house by the elders of the Jewish colony at Tel-abib, and in their presence he fell into a trance, during which he was transported in spirit to Jerusalem, and witnessed, as in a dream, a remarkable drama being enacted there. The glory of God was present during this vision in the same symbolic form, and accompanied by the same... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 8:3

(3) Took me by a lock of mine head.—Not, of course, literally, in the body, but in vision. Ezekiel did not actually leave Chaldæa at all, as is shown by Ezekiel 11:24.The door of the inner gate.—This is one of the gates which led from the court of the people to the court of the priests which was on a higher level. In the account of the building of the temple there is no mention of gates leading from the one to the other, but they would naturally have been placed there, as we know they were in... read more

Ezekiel 8:3 There was a man once a poet. He went wandering through the streets of the city, and he met a disciple. 'Come out with me,' said the poet, 'for a walk in the sand-dunes,' and they went. But ere they had progressed many stages, said the disciple: 'There is nothing here but sand'. 'To what did I invite you?' asked the poet. 'To a walk in the sand-dunes.' 'Then do not complain,' said the poet. 'Yet even so your words are untrue. There is Heaven above. Do you not see it? The fault is not... read more
