Reading for February 8th

Read Ezekiel 36.36-49. They have defiled my sanctuary and profaned my sabbaths: See ch. 8. They even sent for men to come from far away is a reference to Judean attempts to find allies (compare Jer 27.3). The sister's punishment reflects that of an adulterous woman (Lev 20.10) or a person who profanes God (Lev 20.2-5). So that all women may take warning and not commit lewdness: Ezekiel is fequently accused of misogyny. Comments or Questions..
