German TKW (Textbibel von Kautzsch und Weizsäcker)
Als ich nun hinein kam und mich umsah, da fanden sich allerlei Gebilde von greulichem Gewürm und Vieh und allen Götzen des Hauses Israel rings herum an der Wand eingegraben.
Was bedeutet das?
Ezekiel saw various idols and abominable creatures depicted on the walls of the temple. These images were considered idolatrous and offensive to God. The key message is about the seriousness of idol worship and its consequences.
Für Kinder erklärt
Imagine walking into a room and seeing lots of pictures on the walls that are not nice and are not meant to be there. Ezekiel saw this in a very important place, and it made God very sad.
Historischer Hintergrund
Ezekiel, a prophet, wrote this during the Babylonian exile. He was communicating to the Jews in exile, warning them about the idolatrous practices they had fallen into, which were common in the religious practices of the time.
Anwendung für heute
Today, we might see this as a warning about allowing harmful influences in our lives, like unhealthy media or bad habits, which can lead us away from God’s path.
