Ezequiel 23:41 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:41

And satest upon a stately bed
Or honourable F7, a bed of state: either a throne, a royal seat under a canopy, on which the king of Judah sat to receive foreign ambassadors; or a stately bed at a feast, made for the entertainment of them; it being usual in the eastern nations to sit on beds at eating, to which the next clause agrees. The allusion is to a harlot sitting on a bed decked out by her to allure men to lie with her; see ( Proverbs 7:16 ) : and a table prepared before it;
before the bed, furnished with the richest provisions to treat the ambassadors with; or this may design an altar built for them to offer on it sacrifices to their idols, according to the customs of their countries: whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil;
which were the gifts of God to this people, and which they should have used in his service; but with these they treated the ministers of Heathen princes; scenting the room where they were entertained with incense, and anointing their heads and feet with oil, for their pleasure and refreshment; or they offered these on the altars of the idols to them.

Ezequiel 23:41 In-Context

39 después de sacrificar sus hijos a sus ídolos, entraron en mi santuario el mismo día para profanarlo; y he aquí, así hicieron en medio de mi casa.
40 Aún más, mandaron llamar a hombres que vinieran de lejos, a quienes se les envió un mensajero; y he aquí, vinieron. Para ellos te bañaste, te pintaste los ojos y te ataviaste con adornos;
41 luego te sentaste en un suntuoso diván ante el cual estaba preparada una mesa en la que habías puesto mi incienso y mi aceite.
42 Y el ruido de una multitud despreocupada se oĂ­a allĂ­, multitud de hombres, bebedores traĂ­dos del desierto. Y pusieron brazaletes en las manos de las mujeres y hermosas coronas sobre sus cabezas.
43 Entonces dije acerca de aquella que estaba consumida por sus adulterios: "¿Cometerán ahora fornicaciones con ella, estando ella así?"
