The "nakedness of their fathers" implies engaging in sexual relations with a father's wife, which is considered an abomination. This act symbolizes a breakdown of moral and social order within the community. The phrase "in you" indicates that these actions are taking place within the city of Jerusalem, highlighting the pervasive corruption and sin among the people. This behavior reflects a broader pattern of disobedience to God's laws, which were intended to set Israel apart from the surrounding nations.<p><b>in you they violate women during their menstrual impurity.</b><br>This part of the verse addresses another specific violation of the Mosaic Law, found in <a href="/leviticus/18-19.htm">Leviticus 18:19 and 20</a>:18, which prohibits sexual relations with a woman during her menstrual period. This law was given to maintain ritual purity and respect for the natural processes God created. The act of violating this commandment signifies a disregard for God's holiness and the sanctity of His laws. It also reflects a lack of respect for women and their God-given dignity. The repetition of "in you" emphasizes that these transgressions are occurring within the community, underscoring the depth of Israel's spiritual and moral decay. This behavior is indicative of a society that has turned away from God's covenant, leading to the prophetic warnings of judgment and the need for repentance.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet during the Babylonian exile, tasked with delivering God's messages of judgment and hope to the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation being addressed, specifically the people of Jerusalem, who are being condemned for their sinful practices.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The divine judge who is speaking through Ezekiel, highlighting the moral and spiritual corruption of His people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/f/fathers.htm">Fathers</a></b><br>Refers to the ancestors or forefathers of the Israelites, whose nakedness is metaphorically uncovered, indicating a violation of familial and societal norms.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/w/women_during_their_impurity.htm">Women during their impurity</a></b><br>Refers to the specific sin of violating women during their menstrual impurity, which was strictly forbidden in the Mosaic Law.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_sin's_seriousness.htm">Understanding Sin's Seriousness</a></b><br>The passage highlights the severity of sin, particularly sexual immorality, and its impact on both individuals and the community.
