EZEKIEL—NOTE ON Ezekiel 8:16 The final scene, which is the briefest, states simply and starkly the worst of the offenses against God. The twenty-five men are not further identified, but the location between the porch and the altar would normally be reserved for priests. At this sacred place they worship the sun, which is prohibited in Deuteronomy 4:19. This action contrasts sharply with what priests ought to do here (compare Psalms 26:6; Joel 2:17).
