Ezekiel 8:10
"So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things,.... As beetles and others, worshipped for gods: and abominable beasts; unclean ones; not only oxen, but dogs

and cats, and other impure creatures; for such were the gods of the Egyptians, from whom the Jews took their deities: and all the idols of the house of Israel; which were many, even as numerous as their cities: portrayed upon the wall round about; the pictures of them were drawn and placed around the wall of the room or chamber; and where they were worshipped by the priests and Levites, and members of the sanhedrim; and this was not in one chamber only, but in many, as appears from Eze 8:12 .
