Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
And here's what else they did to me: they trashed my holy place and completely disrespected my sabbaths on the very same day.
God's calling out the ultimate disrespect, messing with his sacred spaces and special times all at once.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Ezekiel, the prophet was speaking to the exiled people of Judah during the Babylonian captivity, condemning their ongoing idolatry and unfaithfulness to God. This verse highlights how they defiled the Temple, God's sacred sanctuary, by bringing in pagan practices, and ignored the Sabbath as a holy day of rest and worship, which was a direct violation of God's covenant. These actions were part of a larger pattern of rebellion that led to divine judgment and exile.
