Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ʾel-ʿammî {אֶל־עַמִּי | ʾel-ʿam-mî} ‘among My people’ sets the sphere of offense.
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.
