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 Reveló sus prostituciones y descubrió su desnudez; entonces me hastié de ella como me había hastiado de su hermana.
19 Pero ella multiplicó sus prostituciones, recordando los días de su juventud, cuando se prostituía en la tierra de Egipto
20 Y se apasionó de sus amantes, cuya carne es como la carne de los asnos y cuyo flujo es como el flujo de los caballos.
21 Añoraste así la lujuria de tu juventud, cuando los egipcios palpaban tu seno, acariciando los pechos de tu juventud
22 Por tanto, Aholibá, así dice el Señor DIOS: "He aquí, incitaré contra ti a tus amantes, de los que te alejaste, y los traeré contra ti de todos lados:
