Ezekiel 22:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

One, i.e. some, or the man of quality, state, and such as were of high degree, as the word is translated Psalms 62:9. Or what if it were translated as Ezekiel 22:6, every one; it was grown a most general vice, as Jeremiah 5:8. Abomination with his neighbour's wife; adultery, which God doth, and man should, abhor. Another: horrible, shameless doings! the father-in-law committing incest with the wife's daughter, and brothers defile their own sisters; all this against the light of nature, the law of civilized nations, and the law of God. And, if our conjecture be right, all this done in their lewd, idolatrous feasts kept to the honour of Tammuz, and in the very temple, or near to it. Compare this with Ezekiel 23:9, and with Ezekiel 8:14.

Ezekiel 22:11

11 And onee hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
