EZEKIEL 20:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.”
God gave them statutes that were not good and rules by which they could not live, allowing them to become defiled through their gifts, offering every firstborn through fire. God's statement that He gave Israel statutes that were not good represents a mysterious element: God actively gives corrupt practices to the people as judgment. The child sacrifice imagery represents the ultimate defilement and violation of covenant.
