Ezequiel 16:26 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:26

Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians
By entering into leagues and alliances with them, and seeking to them for help and assistance against their enemies; from whose bondage they had formerly been delivered, and whose society they were cautioned against; and yet they forsook the Lord, and joined themselves to them by solemn covenant; and not only so, but fell into the worship of their idols, who were a people of all others the most superstitious, and given to idolatry; and many of their idolatrous rites and ceremonies were received and retained by the Jews, as the worshipping of Tammuz, and other idols: thy neighbours, great of flesh:
being their neighbours, and full of power and strength to assist them, they courted their friendship and alliance; and their idolatries being many and monstrous, were the more courted by them: the allusion is to women of shameless impudence and insatiable lust, who covet men, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and their issue as horses, ( Ezekiel 23:20 ) ; flesh here signifies the privy parts of men; so Ben Melech; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke my anger;
multiplied their idolatries, which they learned of the Egyptians, a people much given thereunto; and which were abominable and highly provoking to God, ( 1 Peter 4:3 ) . The Targum is,

``thou hast increased thine idols.''

Ezequiel 16:26 In-Context

24 te edificaste un santuario y te hiciste un lugar alto en todas las plazas.

25 'En toda cabecera de camino te edificaste tu lugar alto, y abominable hiciste tu hermosura; y te entregaste a todo el que pasaba y multiplicaste tu prostitución.

26 'También te prostituiste a los egipcios, tus vecinos de cuerpos robustos, y multiplicaste tu prostitución para provocarme a ira.

27 'Y he aquí, yo extendí mi mano contra ti y disminuí tus raciones. Y te entregué al deseo de las que te odiaban, las hijas de los filisteos, que se avergonzaban de tu conducta deshonesta.

28 'Además, te prostituiste a los asirios porque no te habías saciado; te prostituiste a ellos y ni aun entonces te saciaste.
