Ezequiel 23:20 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:20

For she doted upon their paramours
Or "concubines" F26; the neighbouring nations and allies of the Egyptians, whose friendship the Jews courted, and whose idols they served: the Septuagint and Arabic versions wrongly read the Chaldeans: whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue
of horses;
by "flesh" is meant the "membrum virile", which in asses is very large, and therefore dedicated to Priapus by the Heathens; and vast is the profusion of seed in coitus by horses, to which the flesh and issue of the Egyptian paramours are compared; who were very libidinous, and therefore desirable to insatiable women; all which serves to express the eagerness of the people of the Jews after idolatry.


FOOTNOTES:

F26 (Mhyvglp) "equecubinas eorum", Vatablus, so Junius & Tremellius, Polanus; "concubitores", Munster, Tigurine version; "cinaedos", Castalio; and, as Ben Melech observes, these were men, and not women.

Ezequiel 23:20 In-Context

18 Assim pôs a descoberto as suas devassidões, e descobriu a sua vergonha; então a minha alma se alienou dela, assim como já se alienara a minha alma de sua irmã.
19 Todavia ela multiplicou as suas prostituições, lembrando-se dos dias da sua mocidade, em que se prostituira na terra do Egito
20 apaixonando-se dos seus amantes, cujas carnes eram como as de jumentos, e cujo fluxo era como o de cavalos.
21 Assim desejaste a luxĂşria da tua mocidade, quando os egĂ­pcios apalpavam os teus seios, para violentar os peitos da tua mocidade
22 Por isso, ó Aolibá, assim diz o Senhor Deus: Eis que eu suscitarei contra ti os teus amantes, dos quais se alienara a tua alma, e os trarei contra ti de todos os lados:
