Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 20:8

But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: They did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said , I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt .

So great a sin is Idolatry, 'tis against God, as open hostility is against a Soveraign, whom Subjects fight against.

All sin is against God, but Idolatry is much more so.

'Tis probable there were some among them, that carried with them, (as Rachel did her Father's) the Idols of Egypt.

I was just upon resolving, I was very near saying.

As a storm, or mighty shower.

Just, and severe wrath.

To make an end of them.

That they should have perisht in Egypt, and never come out.
