Ezekiel 23:27 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:27

Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee
That is, their idolatry; for, after this captivity, the Jews never were guilty of idolatry any more: and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt;
the idolatry which they learned there, and brought from thence; so the Targum,

``the worship of thine idols, which was with thee when thou wast in the land of Egypt:''

so that thou shall not lift up thine eyes unto them;
to the idols of Egypt, to pray unto them, and worship them: nor remember Egypt any more;
with any delight and pleasure, and so as to desire an alliance with them, and help from them, or to join with them in their idolatries: so the Targum,

``and the idols of the Egyptians thou shalt remember no more.''

26 They will strip off your clothes and take your fine jewelry.

27 So I will put an end to your indecency and prostitution, which began in the land of Egypt, and you will not lift your eyes to them or remember Egypt anymore.’

28 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Surely I will deliver you into the hands of those you hate, from whom you turned away in disgust.

29 They will treat you with hatred, take all for which you have worked, and leave you naked and bare, so that the shame of your prostitution will be exposed. Your indecency and promiscuity
