Gill's Notes on the Bible
And your altars shall be desolate,.... Being pulled down; or because the priests and worshippers would now be slain, and there would be none to attend them:
and your images shall be broken; the "images of the sun" b. The word for images has its derivation from heat; and were so called, either from the heat of the sun, to whose worship they were devoted, or from the heat of the love and affections of their worshippers:
and I will cast down your slain [men] before your idols; before your dung, or your "dunghill gods" c; for the word used has the signification of dung, Ezekiel 4:12. The Targum renders it,
"before the carcass of your idols;''
where they committed idolatry, there they should be slain; which points at the cause of their punishment.
b חמניכם "simulacra vestra solis", Pagninus; "solaria vestra", Vatablus; "subdiales statuae vestrae", Junius Tremellius, Piscator, Polanus. c לפני גלוליכם "coram stercoreis diis vestris", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Polanus "coram stercoribus vestris", Cocceius.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Images - See the margin and margin reference, and the Ezekiel 8:16 note.
Idols - The Phoenicians were in the habit of setting up “heaps” or “pillars” of stone in honor of their gods, which renders the use of the word more appropriate.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 6:4. Your images shall be broken — Literally, your sun images; representations of the sun, which they worshipped. See the margin.
