Ezekiel 8:14
_ _ From the secret abominations of the chambers of imagery, the prophet’s eye is turned to the outer court at the north door; within the outer court women were not admitted, but only to the door.
_ _ sat — the attitude of mourners (Job 2:13; Isaiah 3:26).
_ _ Tammuz — from a Hebrew root, “to melt down.” Instead of weeping for the national sins, they wept for the idol. Tammuz (the Syrian for Adonis), the paramour of Venus, and of the same name as the river flowing from Lebanon; killed by a wild boar, and, according to the fable, permitted to spend half the year on earth, and obliged to spend the other half in the lower world. An annual feast was celebrated to him in June (hence called Tammuz in the Jewish calendar) at Byblos, when the Syrian women, in wild grief, tore off their hair and yielded their persons to prostitution, consecrating the hire of their infamy to Venus; next followed days of rejoicing for his return to the earth; the former feast being called “the disappearance of Adonis,” the latter, “the finding of Adonis.” This Phoenician feast answered to the similar Egyptian one in honor of Osiris. The idea thus fabled was that of the waters of the river and the beauties of spring destroyed by the summer heat. Or else, the earth being clothed with beauty, during the half year when the sun is in the upper hemisphere, and losing it when he departs to the lower. The name Adonis is not here used, as Adon is the appropriated title of Jehovah. |
Ezekiel 8:14
The door — Of the outer court, or court of the women, so called, because they were allowed to come into it. Weeping — Performing all the lewd and beastly rites of that idol, called by the Greeks, Adonis. |
Ezekiel 8:14
Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which [was] toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for (o) Tammuz.
(o) The Jews write, that this was a prophet of the idols, who after his death was once a year mourned for in the night. |
- toward:
Ezekiel 44:4 Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face.
Ezekiel 46:9 But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against it.
