Ezekiel 8:16

And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord (Yahweh), and behold, at the entrance of the temple of the Lord (Yahweh), between the porch and the altar, there were about 25 men with their backs toward the temple of the Lord (Yahweh) and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping the sun toward the east. [Turning your back on the temple is the same as turning your back on God. It is especially provocative when they worship the sun in the temple itself in this way.]
