8:10  a The practice of worshiping deities shaped like crawling animals and detestable creatures most likely came from Egypt.
8:11  b These seventy leaders are a shocking contrast to the seventy leaders of Moses’ day who were given the unique privilege of seeing God (Exod 24:1-11  c) and were given the same Spirit as Moses (Num 11:16-30  d). Jaazaniah, the leader of this group, was, ironically, the son of Shaphan, a godly leader who was prominently involved in Josiah’s reforms (2 Kgs 22:3-14  e).

• The incense, intended to ward off dangers from demonic spirits, helped instead to bring God’s judgment upon the land.
Summary for Ezek 8:12-13: 8:12-13  f The Lord could see what the leaders of Israel were doing, and he revealed these things to his prophet (cp. Luke 12:3  g).
