Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 18:6

_ _ not eaten upon ... mountains — the high places, where altars were reared. A double sin: sacrificing elsewhere than at the temple, where only God sanctioned sacrifice (Deuteronomy 12:13, Deuteronomy 12:14); and this to idols instead of to Jehovah. “Eaten” refers to the feasts which were connected with the sacrifices (see Exodus 32:6; Deuteronomy 32:38; Judges 9:27; 1 Corinthians 8:4, 1 Corinthians 8:10; 1 Corinthians 10:7).

_ _ lifted ... eyes to — namely, in adoration (Psalms 121:1). The superstitious are compared to harlots; their eyes go eagerly after spiritual lusts. The righteous man not merely refrains from the act, but from the glance of spiritual lust (Job 31:1; Matthew 5:28).

_ _ idols of ... Israel — not merely those of the Gentiles, but even those of Israel. The fashions of his countrymen could not lead him astray.

_ _ defiled ... neighbour’s wife — Not only does he shrink from spiritual, but also from carnal, adultery (compare 1 Corinthians 6:18).

_ _ neither ... menstruous woman — Leprosy and elephantiasis were said to be the fruit of such a connection [Jerome]. Chastity is to be observed even towards one’s own wife (Leviticus 18:19; Leviticus 20:18).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 18:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes
