Ezekiel 6:5 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Lay before their idols; expose to open shame, while the carcasses of idolaters recall to mind their shameful folly and sin. Carcasses; either of such as are newly slain, or such as the Chaldeans did dig out of their graves, in spite, contempt, or covetousness, hoping to find some costly ornaments buried with them. So God fulfills that of Leviticus 26:30. I will scatter your bones, as unworthy to be laid up in earth, who had so highly provoked the God of heaven; they are made dung who served dunghill gods. You shall thus be a defilement to your supposed sacred altars and worship, and an abhorrence to beholders.

Ezekiel 6:5

5 And I will layb the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
