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.''

Ezekiel 23:27 In-Context

26 They will strip your clothing from you and remove your beautiful crown.

27 That's how I will put an end to your lewdness and your Egyptian-styled promiscuity. Never again will you stare at them, and you won't remember Egypt anymore.
