Ezequiel 23:15

15 ceñidos de cintos por sus lomos, y mitras pintadas en sus cabezas, teniendo todos ellos parecer de capitanes, a la manera de los hombres de Babilonia, nacidos en tierra de caldeos

Ezequiel 23:15 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:15

Girded with girdles upon their loins
As a token of dignity and authority; see ( Isaiah 11:5 ) , which was the peculiar custom of the Babylonians, as Kimchi, from the Talmudists, observes: "exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads"; having turbans of various colours upon their heads, after the manner of the Persians: all of them princes to look to;
bore the resemblance of kings, princes, and the great men of the earth, and whose images indeed they were; even of such who in their lifetime were famous for military exploits, or for some excellency or another, either real or pretended, and after death reckoned among the gods, and worshipped: after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their
nativity;
either where these heroes were born whose images were portrayed; or where Abraham, the father of the Jewish nation, was born, and so called from thence the land of their nativity; putting them in mind of their original, and of the idolatries of their ancestors, which they were now returning to.

Ezequiel 23:15 In-Context

13 Y vi que se había contaminado, y que un camino era el de ambas

14 Y aumentó sus fornicaciones; pues cuando vio unos hombres pintados en la pared, imágenes de caldeos pintadas de color

15 ceñidos de cintos por sus lomos, y mitras pintadas en sus cabezas, teniendo todos ellos parecer de capitanes, a la manera de los hombres de Babilonia, nacidos en tierra de caldeos

16 se enamoró de ellos viéndolos, y les envió mensajeros a la tierra de los caldeos

17 Y entraron a ella los hombres de Babilonia a la cama de los amores, y la contaminaron con su fornicación; y ella también se contaminó con ellos, y su alma se descoyuntó de ellos
