Exegesis

letahor {לְטָה֖וֹר | lə·ṭā·hôr} highlight the failure to distinguish sacred from common and unclean from clean, each reinforced by the negatives lo {לֹ֣א | lōʾ} before hibdilu {הִבְדִּ֔ילוּ | hiḇ·dî·lū} ‘separate’ and hodiu {הוֹדִ֑יעוּ | hō·ḏî·ʿū} ‘teach.’

In contextEzekiel 22:26

Her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned my holy things; they have not set apart the holy from the common , nor have they taught the difference between the unclean and the clean, and they have turned their eyes from my Sabbaths; so I am profaned among them.
