Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezekiel 20:24
Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.
The whole 24th verse is already explained Eze 4:16, which see.
They, that travelled through the wilderness, had not executed my judgments, in all that forty years, wherein their fathers were to be wasted, and by which their children should have learned, kept, and done Gods judgments, but did them not.
Their fathers idols; which their fathers chose in Egypt, and retained with them, and now their children serve the same, even the Egyptian idols.

Because they had not executed my judgments,…. Had not done that which was right and just, as the Lord commanded them:
but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths; as their fathers had done:
and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols; which they had learned to serve in Egypt, or brought with them from thence; these the eyes and the hearts of their children were after, as theirs find been; and they were more desirous, encouraged, and emboldened to serve them, because they were their fathers’; but this would not excuse their sin; yea, it was rather an aggravation of it, that they should follow them in such practices, for which they had been often reproved and punished.
