Ezekiel 6:6

your works the works of your hands, the idols. All the cumulative phrases in the verse are wanting in LXX. viz. "and made desolate," "and cease," "and your works may be abolished." The term "abolished" is lit. "blotted out." The rendering "made desolate" is probably right, though as spelled the word might mean "suffer" or "be punished," R.V. marg., "bear their guilt." The apparatus of worship in the prophet's time comprehended (1) the high place, the general name for the sanctuary, which might be a building of various degrees of simplicity or splendour, or perhaps a mere tent; (2) the altar, an essential of course of every high place; (3) the obelisk or sun-pillar, and (4) the idol, with which probably most of the rural high places were provided, as Isaiah 2:8 says, Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands. Cf. Jeremiah 2:27-28, who complains that their gods (which he describes as "stocks" and "stones") were as numerous as their cities. With this religious inventory may be compared that given by Hosea 3:5. Ezekiel does not mention the Ashera, except in the form of the "evergreen tree" (ch. Ezekiel 6:13).
