Ezekiel 23:27 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:27

Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee
That is, their idolatry; for, after this captivity, the Jews never were guilty of idolatry any more: and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt;
the idolatry which they learned there, and brought from thence; so the Targum,

``the worship of thine idols, which was with thee when thou wast in the land of Egypt:''

so that thou shall not lift up thine eyes unto them;
to the idols of Egypt, to pray unto them, and worship them: nor remember Egypt any more;
with any delight and pleasure, and so as to desire an alliance with them, and help from them, or to join with them in their idolatries: so the Targum,

``and the idols of the Egyptians thou shalt remember no more.''

Ezekiel 23:27 In-Context

25 When I vent My jealous rage on you, they will deal with you in wrath. They will cut off your nose and ears, and your descendants will fall by the sword. They will seize your sons and daughters, and your descendants will be consumed by fire.

26 They will strip off your clothes and take your beautiful jewelry.

27 So I will put an end to your indecency and sexual immorality, which began in the land of Egypt, and you will not look longingly at them or remember Egypt any more.

28 "For this is what the Lord God says: I am going to hand you over to those you hate, to those you turned away from in disgust.

29 They will treat you with hatred, take all you have worked for, and leave you stark naked, so that the shame of your debauchery will be exposed, both your indecency and promiscuity.
