Ezekiel 8:14-16

International Standard Version

Women Weeping for Tammuz

¹⁴ Then he brought me to the entrance of the gate to the Lord’s Temple, which faced the north. That’s where I saw women seated, weeping for Tammuz. ¹⁵ Then he asked me, “Do you see this, Son of Man? You’re about to see even more detestable practices than these.”

Sun Worship in the Temple

¹⁶ Then he brought me to the inner court of the Lord’s Temple. There, at the entrance to the Lord’s Temple, between the porch and the altar, were 25 men, with their backs toward the Lord’s Temple and facing the east, prostrating themselves to the sun.
