Exegesis
This is followed by nasa einav el-hagillulim {נָשָׂ֣א | nā-sāʾ / עֵינָ֔יו | ʿê-nāw / אֶל־הַגִּלּוּלִים֙ | ʾel ha-gillûlîm} ‘he lifts his eyes to the idols’, portraying idolatrous orientation, and concludes with asah to'evah {עָשָֽׂה | ʿā-śāh / תּוֹעֵבָ֖ה | tô-ʿê-wāh} ‘to commit an abomination’ as the moral summation. The absence of subordinating conjunctions creates an unrelenting series of actions that underscore the comprehensive nature of the transgressions.
In context — Ezekiel 18:12
He oppresses the poor and the needy, commits robbery, does not restore the pledge, lifts his eyes to the idols, and commits abomination .
