Ezekiel 23:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:7

Thus she committed her whoredoms with them
Entered into alliance with them, and joined them in their idolatrous worship: with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria;
before described by their habit, office, and age: and with all on whom she doted;
had an insatiable desire and lust after: with all their idols she defiled herself;
worshipped all the idols the Assyrians did; and which were defiling, as they must needs be, since, as the word used signifies, they were dunghill gods.

Ezekiel 23:7 In-Context

5 But Oholah became unfaithful to me and lusted after her lovers the Assyrians:
6 warriors dressed in fine blue cloth, governors and officers, charioteers and horsemen, all of them the most handsome of men.
7 She sought them out to seduce them, all of them men of the highest rank of Assyria. She defiled herself by everyone she lusted after and also by all their idols.
8 But she never gave up her promiscuities with the Egyptians, who had slept with her in her girlhood and fondled her nubile breasts, and who continued to seduce her.
9 Therefore, I handed her over to her lovers, to the Assyrians for whom she lusted.
