EZEKIEL 20:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.”
For when I brought them into the land which I swore to give them, then wherever they saw any high hill or any leafy tree, they offered their sacrifices and presented their offensive offerings. Israel's idolatrous practices upon entering the land represent the immediate violation of covenant fidelity. The high hills and leafy trees symbolize the Canaanite religious practices that Israel eagerly adopted. The offensive offerings suggest sacrifices incompatible with covenant requirements.
