Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 8:13

13 ¶ He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.

Represented to him in this Vision.

Either because added to all the rest. Or, Because some circumstances in th[illegible: 1 letter]se make them more abominable then what before was represented. Or, It may be taken for very great, as when the word is applied to Cities, Deut. 1.2[illegible: 1 letter]. and 6.10. and 9.1. To Stones, I[illegible: 2 letters]h. 10.11, 27. 1 Kings 7.10. Davids Wars, 1 Chron. 22.8. Kingdoms, Ier. 28.8. And to the marvelous works of God, Iob 5.9. and 9.10. Psal. 136.4. and generally our Version keeps to the positive degree though here they render it by the comparative, and in the 6th. verse of this chapter, the very self same expression is rendred great (not greater) abominations, we need not then perplex our reader with a long discourse, to shew wherein these latter sins are greater then the former mentioned, they are all very great.

Now they are doing these things, instead of Worshipping the true God on the Sabbath, as he required all his People, the Leaders of the People are on the Sabbath of the Lord offering Incense to their detestable Idols.
