Ezekiel 23:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:6

Which were clothed with blue
A colour the Assyrians were fond of, and clothed their soldiers in, and was taking to the eye; and is mentioned, because that men, finely clothed find beautifully arrayed, are more engaging to women, who are fond of dress: captains and rulers;
men of power and authority in military and civil affairs, either in the camp, or in the court; officers either in the army, or in the king's palace; and which was a recommendation of them: desirable young men;
for their youth, strength, beauty, and honourable employments and offices: horsemen riding upon horses:
of which there was a scarcity in Judea; wherefore such were the more desirable to them, as appearing more grand, and being more serviceable and helpful to them.

Ezekiel 23:6 In-Context

4 The older sister was named Oholah, and the younger sister was named Oholibah. They became mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. Now Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.

5 But Oholah became unfaithful to me and lusted after her lovers the Assyrians:

6 warriors dressed in fine blue cloth, governors and officers, charioteers and horsemen, all of them the most handsome of men.

7 She sought them out to seduce them, all of them men of the highest rank of Assyria. She defiled herself by everyone she lusted after and also by all their idols.

8 But she never gave up her promiscuities with the Egyptians, who had slept with her in her girlhood and fondled her nubile breasts, and who continued to seduce her.
