Ezekiel 44:7 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

In that ye have brought [into my sanctuary] strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, [even] my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.

Ver. 7. Strangers.] Yourselves are no better; Amo 9:7 strangers from the covenants; Eph 2:12 degenerate children, Isa 1:4 alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in you, Eph 4:18 and through your blind leaders of the blind, priests of your own making, &c.

Uncircumcised in heart.] Erroneous in judgment.

Uncircumcised in flesh.] Enormous in practice.

When ye offer my bread,] i.e., The fat and the blood, as it followeth, which I seem to feed upon as a man doth upon bread.

Because of all your abominations.] Or, Besides all your abominations mentioned. Eze 44:6
