Ezekiel 23:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:7

Thus she committed her whoredoms with them
Entered into alliance with them, and joined them in their idolatrous worship: with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria;
before described by their habit, office, and age: and with all on whom she doted;
had an insatiable desire and lust after: with all their idols she defiled herself;
worshipped all the idols the Assyrians did; and which were defiling, as they must needs be, since, as the word used signifies, they were dunghill gods.

Ezekiel 23:7 In-Context

5 "Oholah acted like a prostitute even though she was Mine. She lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians: warriors
6 dressed in blue, governors and prefects, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on steeds.
7 She offered her sexual favors to them; all of them were the elite of Assyria. She defiled herself with all those she lusted after and with all their idols.
8 She didn't give up her promiscuity that began in Egypt, when men slept with her in her youth, caressed her virgin nipples, and poured out their lust on her.
9 Therefore, I handed her over to her lovers, the Assyrians she lusted for.
