Commentary on Ezekiel 8:5

Theological / Devotional

Toward the north. This indicates that in vision Ezekiel was inside the court of the priests; otherwise he could not have looked toward the north to see the idol in the north gate. The image had already been mentioned (v. 3), but now the attention of the prophet is directed to it more particularly. It was not enough that he should merely see it in passing.
