Ezekiel 23:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:8

Neither left she her idols brought from Egypt
Though the Israelites took in the gods of the Assyrians into their worship, they did not relinquish the golden calves set up at Dan and Bethel, in imitation of the Egyptian deities; the idolatrous worship of which they learned in Egypt, and brought from thence: for in her youth they lay with her;
the Egyptians enticed the Israelites to idolatry when among them, as soon as they began to be a people; (See Gill on Ezekiel 23:3): and they bruised the breasts of her virginity;
who before retained the pure worship of God, and was like a chaste virgin: and poured their whoredom upon her;
expressive of the numerous acts of idolatry committed together by them.

Ezekiel 23:8 In-Context

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.

10 They stripped her naked, took her sons and daughters, and killed her with the sword. And she became notorious among women for the punishments they enacted against her.
