Exegesis
In the first clause, the prepositional phrase al-heharim {עַל־הֶֽהָרִים֙ | ʿal-he-hā-rîm} situates the action in a cultic mountain worship setting, paired with the Qal perfect verb akhal {אָכָ֔ל | ʾā-ḵal} ‘he ate’, indicating completed refusal to join such feasts.
In context — Ezekiel 18:15
He has not eaten upon the mountains , nor lifted his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor defiled his neighbor’s wife .
