Ezekiel 6:4

Your images. Heb. chammanim, from the root chamam, “to be warm.” From the same root comes chammah, sometimes used poetically for the sun itself (S. of Sol. 6:10; Isa. 30:26). From this some have surmised that the chammanim were connected with the worship of the sun. This cannot be established. We now know that chammanim were incense altars (see on 2 Chron. 14:5). The chammanim formed a part of the paraphernalia of the complicated system of idol worship that is here doomed to utter destruction. The verse is an echo of Lev. 26:30, where Moses pronounces the same judgments against the Jews for their evil deeds.

Idols. Heb. gillulim, perhaps from the root galal, “to roll,” hence an object that could be rolled, for example, a log. Some suggest a connection with gel, “dung” (Job 20:7; Eze. 4:12, 15), hence an object of contempt. Gillulim occurs 39 times in Ezekiel, and elsewhere throughout the OT only 9 times. Ironically these idols would be worshiped no longer by the living, but by the prostrate bodies of their dead worshipers.
