Exegesis
The instrument is indicated by bǝkazzēḇkem {בְּכַזֶּבְכֶם | bə-kaz-zēḇ-kem} ‘by your lying,’ and the characterization of šomʿê ka-zāḇ {שֹׁמְעֵי כָזָב | šom-ʿê ka-zāḇ} ‘hearers of lies’ highlights the people’s gullibility. Hebrew word order preserves parallelism, while the English translation reorders phrases for clarity.
In context — Ezekiel 13:19
And you have profaned Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to put to death souls who should not die and to keep alive souls who should not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies.
