Ezekiel 23:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:8

Neither left she her idols brought from Egypt
Though the Israelites took in the gods of the Assyrians into their worship, they did not relinquish the golden calves set up at Dan and Bethel, in imitation of the Egyptian deities; the idolatrous worship of which they learned in Egypt, and brought from thence: for in her youth they lay with her;
the Egyptians enticed the Israelites to idolatry when among them, as soon as they began to be a people; (See Gill on Ezekiel 23:3): and they bruised the breasts of her virginity;
who before retained the pure worship of God, and was like a chaste virgin: and poured their whoredom upon her;
expressive of the numerous acts of idolatry committed together by them.
