Hesekiel 23:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:5

And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine
His married wife, and so ought to have cleaved to him alone: or, under me {o}; under his cover, power, and protection, and therefore it was their interest to serve him only: or, "instead of me" F16; or, as the Syriac version, "besides me": they worshipped other gods in the room of the true God, or other gods besides him. The Targum is,

``and Aholah erred from my worship;''
the ten tribes fell into idolatry, when they were God's professing people: and she doted on her lovers;
whom she loved even to madness; she was mad with love, to the idols, temples, altars, and idolatrous worship of the Heathens; particularly doted "on the Assyrians her neighbours"; who were become so by the conquest of Syria; and these they treated as their neighbours, and sought to have them to be their allies and confederates; courted their help and assistance, and gave them much money for that purpose; as Menahem gave to Pul king of Assyria a thousand talents of silver, to confirm the kingdom in his hand, ( 2 Kings 15:19 ) .

Hesekiel 23:5 In-Context

3 Und sie hurten in Ägypten, in ihrer Jugend hurten sie; dort wurden ihre Brüste gedrückt, und dort betastete man ihren jungfräulichen Busen.
4 Und ihre Namen sind Ohola, die größere, und Oholiba, ihre Schwester. Und sie wurden mein und gebaren Söhne und Töchter; und was ihre Namen betrifft: Samaria ist Ohola, und Jerusalem ist Oholiba
5 Und Ohola hurte, als sie unter mir war. Und sie entbrannte gegen ihre Buhlen, gegen die Assyrer, die nahe waren, gekleidet in Purpurblau,
6 Landpfleger und Statthalter, allesamt anmutige Jünglinge, Reiter, auf Rossen reitend.
7 Und sie richtete ihre Hurereien auf sie, die Auswahl der Söhne Assurs insgesamt; und mit allen, gegen welche sie entbrannte, mit allen deren Götzen verunreinigte sie sich.
