Ezekiel 22:25. by consent] Heb. with one shoulder; or, to Shechem: which was also a city of refuge, Joshua 20:7. and belonged to the Levites, Joshua 21:21. where it may be that Jeroboam had placed some false Priests, which himself had made: See Chap. 5. 2. which committed many outrages and murders upon them which frequented the Temple of Jerusalem, contrary to his command: or, generally upon all Travellers. for they commit lewdnesse] Or, for they commit enormitie. I do liken these Priests violences to theft, for they are cruell and insufferable.
