Text: Ezekiel 6:4
OT Text Referred to: Leviticus 26:30
Subject: judgment upon cities and high places
Source: Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Reference Type: Allusion
Connection Method(s): Promise-Fulfillment
Significance: Ezekiel 6:4 prophesies the destruction of Israel's altars and חַמָּנִים (chammanim, "incense altars/sun pillars"), directly echoing Leviticus 26:30 where God threatens to "destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and pile your corpses on the corpses of your idols." Both passages use nearly identical vocabulary: גִּלּוּלִים (gillulim, "idols"), בָּמוֹת (bamot, "high places"), and the image of slain bodies cast before their idols. Ezekiel announces that the long-threatened Levitical covenant curse is now being executed against Judah's syncretic worship sites.

Text: Leviticus 26:30
OT Text Referred to: Ezekiel 6:4
Subject: idolatry punishment
Source: Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Reference Type: Allusion
Connection Method(s): Promise-Fulfillment
Significance: Leviticus 26:30 threatens as a covenant curse: "I will destroy your high places (בָּמוֹת, bamot), cut down your incense altars (חַמָּנִים, chammanim), and pile your dead bodies on the lifeless bodies of your idols (גִּלּוּלִים, gillulim)." Ezekiel 6:4 announces the fulfillment: "Your altars will be demolished, your incense altars (חַמָּנִים) will be smashed, and your slain will fall before your idols (גִּלּוּלִים)." The verbal correspondence is striking — the same triad of בָּמוֹת, חַמָּנִים, and גִּלּוּלִים appears in both texts, with Ezekiel presenting the prophesied destruction of idolatrous worship sites as the direct execution of the Leviticus 26 covenant curses. Ezekiel uses Leviticus 26 as the script for judgment, confirming that God fulfills His covenant warnings with literal precision.
