Ezekiel 22:26 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Her priests have violated my law Which they ought to have observed, and to have taught the people to observe; and have profaned my holy things The gifts and sacrifices offered in my service; either by offering them in an undue manner, as the sons of Eli did, 1 Samuel 2:15, or without due purification of themselves; or else eating them as common meats, without regard to the rules prescribed in the law. They have put no difference between the holy and profane They have not shown any regard to the rules of my law, concerning what is holy and unholy, clean and unclean, and that both with respect to persons and things. And they are guilty of this neglect in contradiction to an express charge given them respecting this matter, Leviticus 10:10. By the holy is here meant that which was peculiarly dedicated to God; by the profane, things in common use; by the unclean, those meats which were forbidden to be eaten; by the clean, what it was lawful to eat. And have hid their eyes from my sabbaths They have taken no care that my sabbaths should be kept, and have not attended themselves upon my public worship on the sabbath days, 2 Chronicles 29:7; and thereby have encouraged my people in the neglect and profanation of it. And I am profaned among them I am dishonoured by them, and they use my name to false and wicked purposes.
