Ezekiel 20:26 - Exposition

I polluted them through their own gifts . The noun includes all forms of blessing bestowed on Israel—its corn and wine and oil (see Ezekiel 16:19 , Ezekiel 16:20 ), even its sons and daughters, the fruit of the womb, as well as the increase of the earth. (For the prevalence of Moloch worship, and for the phrase, "pass through," see notes on Ezekiel 16:21 .) The sins were to bring desolation as their punishment, and then men would learn to know Jehovah as indeed he is.
