以西結書 23:20 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:20

For she doted upon their paramours
Or "concubines" F26; the neighbouring nations and allies of the Egyptians, whose friendship the Jews courted, and whose idols they served: the Septuagint and Arabic versions wrongly read the Chaldeans: whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue
of horses;
by "flesh" is meant the "membrum virile", which in asses is very large, and therefore dedicated to Priapus by the Heathens; and vast is the profusion of seed in coitus by horses, to which the flesh and issue of the Egyptian paramours are compared; who were very libidinous, and therefore desirable to insatiable women; all which serves to express the eagerness of the people of the Jews after idolatry.


FOOTNOTES:

F26 (Mhyvglp) "equecubinas eorum", Vatablus, so Junius & Tremellius, Polanus; "concubitores", Munster, Tigurine version; "cinaedos", Castalio; and, as Ben Melech observes, these were men, and not women.

以西結書 23:20 In-Context

18 這 樣 , 他 顯 露 淫 行 , 又 顯 露 下 體 ; 我 心 就 與 他 生 疏 , 像 先 前 與 他 姊 姊 生 疏 一 樣 。
19 他 還 加 增 他 的 淫 行 , 追 念 他 幼 年 在 埃 及 地 行 邪 淫 的 日 子 ,
20 貪 戀 情 人 身 壯 精 足 , 如 驢 如 馬 。
21 這 樣 , 你 就 想 起 你 幼 年 的 淫 行 。 那 時 , 埃 及 人 擁 抱 你 的 懷 , 撫 摸 你 的 乳 。
22 阿 荷 利 巴 啊 , 主 耶 和 華 如 此 說 : 我 必 激 動 你 先 愛 而 後 生 疏 的 人 來 攻 擊 你 。 我 必 使 他 們 來 , 在 你 四 圍 攻 擊 你 。
