Ezekiel 20:26
_ _ I polluted them — not directly; “but I judicially gave them up to pollute themselves.” A just retribution for their “polluting My sabbaths” (Ezekiel 20:24). This Ezekiel 20:26 is explanatory of Ezekiel 20:25. Their own sin I made their punishment.
_ _ caused to pass through the fire — Fairbairn translates, “In their presenting (literally, ‘the causing to pass over’) all their first-born,” namely, to the Lord; referring to the command (Exodus 13:12, Margin, where the very same expression is used). The lustration of children by passing through the fire was a later abomination (Ezekiel 20:31). The evil here spoken of was the admixture of heathenish practices with Jehovah’s worship, which made Him regard all as “polluted.” Here, “to the Lord” is omitted purposely, to imply, “They kept up the outward service indeed, but I did not own it as done unto Me, since it was mingled with such pollutions.” But English Version is supported by the similar phraseology in Ezekiel 20:31, see on Ezekiel 20:31. They made all their children pass through the fire; but he names the first-born, in aggravation of their guilt; that is, “I had willed that the first-born should be redeemed as being Mine, but they imposed on themselves the cruel rites of offering them to Molech” (Deuteronomy 18:10).
_ _ might know ... the Lord — that they may be compelled to know Me as a powerful Judge, since they were unwilling to know Me as a gracious Father. |
Ezekiel 20:26
Polluted — I permitted them to pollute themselves. Might know — Be forced to own, that the Lord is a mighty king in punishing those that would not have him a gracious king in governing them. |
Ezekiel 20:26
And I polluted them in their own (m) gifts, in that they caused to pass through [the fire] all the firstborn, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I [am] the LORD.
(m) I condemned those things, and counted them as abominable, which they thought had been excellent and to have declared most zeal, (Luke 16:15) for that which God required as most excellent they gave to their idols. |
- polluted:
Ezekiel 20:31 For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.

- in that:

2 Chronicles 33:6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
Jeremiah 32:35 And they built the high places of Baal, which [are] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through [the fire] unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

- all that:
Exodus 13:12 That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males [shall be] the LORD'S.
Luke 2:23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
|
- to the end:
Ezekiel 6:7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
