Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Ezekiel 20:27

Your fathers have blasphemed me. — The fourth period of Israelitish history, though actually far the longest, is very briefly passed over (Ezekiel 20:27). It includes the whole period of the settlement in Canaan, from the conquest to the prophet’s own time, and was marked by the same characteristics as before. The particular way here specified by which they blasphemed was by the erection of idolatrous altars on every high place.
