Ezekiel 20:18

But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:

But I said unto their children - being unwilling to speak anymore to the fathers, as being incorrigible.

Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers. The traditions of the fathers are to be carefully weighed, not indiscriminately followed. He forbids the imitation of not only their gross sins, but even their plausible statutes (Calvin).
