Ezekiel 20:7

Context
20:7 I said to them, “Each of you must get rid of the detestable idols you keep before you, 1  and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.”

Ezekiel 23:37

Context
23:37 For they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols, and their sons, whom they bore to me, 2  they have passed through the fire as food to their idols. 3 

1 tn Heb “each one, the detestable things of his eyes, throw away.” The Pentateuch does not refer to the Israelites worshiping idols in Egypt, but Josh 24:14 appears to suggest that they did so.

2 sn The Lord speaks here in the role of the husband of the sisters.

3 tn Heb “they have passed to them for food.” The verb is commonly taken to refer to passing children through fire, especially as an offering to the pagan god Molech. See Jer 32:35.
