Ezekiel 8
Overview
8:1 Ezekiel, in a vision of God at Jerusalem,
8:5 is shewn the image of jealousy;
8:7 the chambers of imagery;
8:13 the mourners for Tammuz;
8:16 the worshippers toward the sun;
8:17 God's wrath for their idolatry.

When rubbed it is highly endowed with electricity; a name which the moderns have formed from its Greek nameηλεκτρον. But, as amber becomes dim as soon as it feels the fire, and is speedily consumed, it is probable that the original chashmal which Bochart derives from the Chaldee nechash copper, and melala gold, was a mixed metal, similar to that which the Greeks called ηλεκτρον, electrum, as the LXX and Vulgate render, from its resemblance to amber in colour.ReciprocalPhilippians 2:6 - thought Verse 3he putEzekiel 2:9; Daniel 5:5, 10:10, 10:18 the spiritEzekiel 3:14, 11:1, 11:24, 40:2; 1 Kings 18:12; 2 Kings 2:16; Acts 8:39; 2 Corinthians 12:2-4; Revelation 1:10-20, 4:2-11 to the doorEzekiel 8:5; 2 Kings 16:14 the imageEzekiel 5:11, 7:20; 2 Kings 21:7; Jeremiah 7:30, 32:34 provokethExodus 20:5, 34:14; Deuteronomy 4:24, 5:9, 6:15, 32:16, 32:21; Joshua 24:19; Psalm 78:58; 1 Corinthians 10:21, 10:22ReciprocalDeuteronomy 29:20 - his jealousy; 1 Kings 14:9 - to provoke; 22:53 - provoked; 2 Chronicles 29:5 - carry forth; Ezekiel 1:1 - I saw; 1:8 - General; 3:12 - spirit; 37:1 - carried; 43:5 - the spirit; 43:8 - setting; Zephaniah 1:18 - the fire; Matthew 4:1 - of the spirit; Revelation 17:3 - he carried; 21:10 - he carried Verse 4Ezekiel 1:26-28, 3:22, 3:23, 9:3, 10:1-4, 11:22, 11:23, 43:2-4; Exodus 25:22, 40:34, 40:35; 2 Corinthians 3:18, 4:4-6; Habakkuk 1:3ReciprocalIsaiah 3:8 - to provoke; Jeremiah 3:2 - Lift; Ezekiel 1:28 - This; 43:3 - according to the appearance Verse 5liftJeremiah 3:2; Zechariah 5:5-11 at theEzekiel 8:3; Psalm 48:2ReciprocalLeviticus 1:11 - he shall; Deuteronomy 29:20 - his jealousy; 2 Chronicles 36:14 - polluted; Jeremiah 7:30 - they; 23:11 - in; 32:34 - General; Ezekiel 5:11 - thou hast; 9:6 - and begin; 23:38 - they have; 40:45 - whose Verse 6seestEzekiel 8:12, 8:17; Jeremiah 3:6, 7:17 evenEzekiel 8:9, 8:17, 5:11, 7:20-22, 23:38, 23:39; 2 Kings 23:4-6; Proverbs 5:14; Jeremiah 7:30, 23:11; 32:34 that IEzekiel 10:19, 11:22; Deuteronomy 31:16-18; 2 Chronicles 36:14-17; Psalm 78:60; Jeremiah 26:6; Lamentations 2:6, 2:7 greaterEzekiel 8:11, 8:14, 8:16ReciprocalIsaiah 26:21 - Lord; 55:6 - while he is near; Jeremiah 11:18 - the Lord; Ezekiel 8:13 - greater; 8:15 - Hast; 10:15 - lifted; 14:23 - that I have not; 18:12 - hath committed; 33:29 - because; Hosea 5:15 - return; Amos 8:2 - Amos; Matthew 24:1 - departed; Mark 13:1 - out Verse 71 Kings 7:12; 2 Kings 21:5ReciprocalDeuteronomy 27:15 - and putteth; 2 Chronicles 33:5 - in the two; Ezekiel 7:20 - but; 8:12 - in the; 40:14 - the court; Revelation 14:1 - I looked Verse 8Job 34:22; Isaiah 29:15; Jeremiah 2:34 *marg. 23:24; Amos 9:2, 9:3ReciprocalIsaiah 57:8 - the doors; 59:12 - our transgressions; Ezekiel 8:12 - in the Verse 9that theyEzekiel 20:8ReciprocalGenesis 6:5 - every imagination; 2 Chronicles 29:5 - carry forth; Jeremiah 1:16 - and have; Ezekiel 8:6 - even; 8:15 - greater; 16:2 - abominations; 22:2 - her abominations; Mark 11:11 - when; Romans 4:2 - he hath Verse 10and beholdThese images portrayed on the wall were no doubt the objects of Egyptian idolatry, the ox, ape, crocodile, ibis, beetle, etc., as we find those idols were painted on the walls of the tombs of kings and nobles.everyExodus 20:4; Leviticus 11:10-12, 11:29-31, 11:42-44; Deuteronomy 4:18, 14:3, 14:7, 14:8; Isaiah 57:6-10; Jeremiah 2:26, 2:27, 3:9, 16:18; Romans 1:23Reciprocal2 Chronicles 15:8 - abominable idols; Jeremiah 44:4 - this; Ezekiel 11:12 - but; 16:26 - with the; 23:14 - portrayed; Revelation 13:14 - they Verse 11seventyExodus 24:1, 24:9; Numbers 11:16, 11:25; Jeremiah 5:5, 19:1; Daniel 9:8 Shaphan2 Kings 22:3, 22:8, 22:12, 22:14, 25:22; 2 Chronicles 34:20; Jeremiah 26:24, 29:3, 36:10 everyNumbers 16:17, 16:35; 2 Chronicles 26:16, 26:19; Jeremiah 7:9Reciprocal2 Kings 22:9 - Shaphan; 2 Chronicles 34:8 - sent Shaphan; Jeremiah 23:11 - in; 42:1 - Jezaniah; 52:27 - the king; Ezekiel 8:6 - greater; 8:12 - ancients; 9:6 - at the Verse 12hastEzekiel 8:6, 8:15, 8:17 ancients8:11, 14:1, 20:1; Ephesians 5:12 in theEzekiel 8:7, 8:8; Job 24:13-17; John 3:19, 3:20 The Lord seethEzekiel 9:9; Job 22:12, 22:13; Psalm 73:11, 94:7-10; Isaiah 29:15ReciprocalGenesis 6:5 - every imagination; 2 Kings 17:9 - secretly; Job 24:15 - No eye; Psalm 10:11 - God; 64:5 - Who; 86:14 - and have; 90:8 - Thou; Isaiah 3:2 - the ancient; 3:8 - because; 28:15 - We have; 44:13 - that it may; 47:10 - thou hast said; Jeremiah 16:17 - General; 19:1 - the ancients of the people; 23:24 - hide; Ezekiel 21:14 - entereth; Amos 8:2 - Amos; Zephaniah 1:12 - The Lord; Malachi 2:17 - Where Verse 13greaterEzekiel 8:6, 8:15; Jeremiah 9:3; 2 Timothy 3:13
