“He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.”
Abominations revealed successively; great abominations shown progressively; idolatrous image merely first of series violating covenant. Phrase that I should go far off from sanctuary suggests defilement drives YHWH from temple, prompting eventual Shekinah departure.
