Along with this message, Ezekiel\u2019s prophecy again emphasizes that these acts by the people have caused the defilement of the nation, the land, and the Temple \u2013 a result not mentioned in Deuteronomy but in Leviticus. However, there is a quantitative difference: in Leviticus, only two verses speak of idolatry as causing defilement of the people and of the Temple, while in Ezekiel this issue appears in no less than thirty verses. The necessity of repeatedly emphasizing this matter during Ezekiel\u2019s time is understandable bearing in mind the constant presence of false prophets, who continued to insist that the Temple would not be destroyed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ezekiel\u2019s descriptions of the varieties of idolatry committed by the people deliberately follows the style employed in Deuteronomy in the commands and warnings not to follow the deeds of the nations and not to serve their gods. This technique lends additional validity to Ezekiel\u2019s prophecies about the sins \u2013 particularly about the punishment that God will bring. In addition, the nation\u2019s sin is amplified through a broad generalization of all the different types of idolatry and their enumeration together in Chapter 8. In this way the prophet underlines the prophetic message that he is conveying: the sins of the people have included idolatry, and this represents justification for the imminent destruction and exile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Posted in conjunction with hatanach.com.
