Ezekiel 18:6

And hath not eaten vpon the mountaines, neither hath lift vp his eyes to the idoles of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbours wife, neither hath come neere to a menstruous woman, Ezekiel 18:6 (KJV)

The passage records four distinct actions that a person described as righteous does not undertake. First, the individual “hath not eaten upon the mountains,” indicating a refrain from consuming food in that setting. Second, the person “neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,” showing a deliberate avoidance of looking toward idolatrous objects. Third, the text states that the individual “neither hath defiled his neighbour’s wife,” affirming a commitment to marital fidelity. Fourth, the passage adds that the person “neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,” marking a distance from that particular circumstance.

It is noted, however, that the quoted wording—”And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour’s wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman”—does not appear verbatim in the King James Version of the Bible; no chapter and verse contain this exact phrasing.

In a related observation, the study includes the statement, “In thee have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness; and in thee have they humbled her that was set apart from their pollution.” This sentence underscores themes of exposure and humility connected with impurity, echoing the broader concern for moral and ceremonial purity expressed in the earlier prohibitions. Together, these elements highlight a consistent biblical emphasis on avoiding actions that compromise personal and communal holiness.
