Summary

In Ezekiel 8:15, the prophet is shown a vision of elders of Israel worshipping idols in a hidden room, symbolizing the secret sins and idolatry that had infiltrated the leadership of God's people. This revelation exposes the depth of spiritual corruption and rebellion among the Israelites, leading to the impending judgment of God. The verse serves as a warning against hypocrisy and the dangers of turning away from true worship, emphasizing the importance of genuine repentance and faithfulness to God.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

The next are "greater abominations," not in respect to the idolatry, but in respect to the place and persons committing it. In "the inner court," immediately before the door of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, where the priests advanced only on extraordinary occasions (Joe 2:17), twenty-five men (the leaders of the twenty-four courses or orders of the priests, Ch1 24:18-19, with the high priest, "the princes of the sanctuary," Isa 43:28), representing the whole priesthood, as the seventy elders represented the people, stood with their backs turned on the temple, and their faces towards the east, making obeisance to the rising sun (contrast Kg1 8:44). Sun-worship came from the Persians, who made the sun the eye of their god Ormuzd. It existed as early as Job (Job 31:26; compare Deu 4:19). Josiah could only suspend it for the time of his reign (Kg2 23:5, Kg2 23:11); it revived under his successors.
