Ezekiel 20:7
Context20:7 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 24:23
Context24:23 Your turbans will be on your heads and your sandals on your feet; you will not mourn or weep, but you will rot 2 for your iniquities 3 and groan among yourselves.
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 tn The same verb appears in 4:17 and 33:10.
3 tn Or “in your punishment.” The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity/punishment” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here; 3:18, 19; 4:17; 7:13, 16; 18:17, 18, 19, 20; 33:6, 8, 9; 39:23. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment” for iniquity or “guilt” of iniquity.
