Bible Comments

Slain their children: see Ezekiel 16:20. To profane it; using my holy temple as if it were a common and unclean place. Thus have they done in the midst of my house; nay, these things have been done in my house, they have offered to their idols in the house where my name alone should be called upon.

Ezekiel 23:39

39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.
