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 “Then Oholah lusted after other lovers instead of me, and she gave her love to the Assyrian officers.

6 They were all attractive young men, captains and commanders dressed in handsome blue, charioteers driving their horses.

7 And so she prostituted herself with the most desirable men of Assyria, worshiping their idols and defiling herself.

8 For when she left Egypt, she did not leave her spirit of prostitution behind. She was still as lewd as in her youth, when the Egyptians slept with her, fondled her breasts, and used her as a prostitute.

9 “And so I handed her over to her Assyrian lovers, whom she desired so much.
