This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
One, i.e. some, or the man of quality, state, and such as were of high degree, as the word is translated Psa_62:9. Or what if it were translated as Eze_22:6, every one; it was grown a most general vice, as Jer_5:8.
Abomination with his neighbour’s wife; adultery, which God doth, and man should, abhor.
Another: horrible, shameless doings! the father-in-law committing incest with the wife’s daughter, and brothers defile their own sisters; all this against the light of nature, the law of civilized nations, and the law of God. And, if our conjecture be right, all this done in their lewd, idolatrous feasts kept to the honour of Tammuz, and in the very temple, or near to it. Compare this with Eze_23:9, and with Eze_8:14.
