Exegesis
The sequence ish shikkutzei einav {אִישׁ שִׁקּוּצֵי עֵינָיו | ’îš šiqqûṣê ’ēnāv} foregrounds individual responsibility by linking the noun man with the construct phrase abominations of his eyes, emphasizing visual desire as a source of idolatry.
In context — Ezekiel 20:7
And I said to them, “Each of you, cast away the abominations of your eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the LORD your God .”
