Ezequiel 16:29 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:29

Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of
Canaan
Or, "with the land of Canaan" F12; with the inhabitants of it, doing the same evils, committing the same idolatries, as the old inhabitants of Canaan did; and so the Targum,

``and thou hast multiplied thine idols, that thou mightest be joined to the people of Canaan:''
or, "to the land of Canaan" F13; like to the land of Canaan; according to the abominations of the Canaanites, doing as they did. Jarchi takes the word Canaan to signify a "merchant", as it does in ( Hosea 12:7 ) ; and the land of Canaan to be the same with the land of Chaldea, called a land of traffic, and Babylon the city of merchants, ( Ezekiel 17:4 ) ; since it follows, unto Chaldea:
but the sense is, that the Jews were not content with the idolatries in the land of Canaan, but sent even to Chaldea, a remote country, to fetch new idols from thence; see ( Ezekiel 23:14-16 ) . The Targum is,
``to walk in the laws of the Chaldeans;''
their religious ones, their rites and ceremonies respecting idolatrous worship: and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith;
but still wanted other idols and modes of worship; not being content with the gods of the Egyptians, nor of the Assyrians, nor of the Canaanites, nor of the Chaldeans.

Ezequiel 16:29 In-Context

27 Por isso estendi o meu braço contra vocĂȘ e reduzi o seu territĂłrio; eu a entreguei Ă  vontade das suas inimigas, as filhas dos filisteus, que ficaram chocadas com a sua conduta lasciva.
28 VocĂȘ se prostituiu tambĂ©m com os assĂ­rios, porque era insaciĂĄvel, e, mesmo depois disso, ainda nĂŁo ficou satisfeita.
29 EntĂŁo vocĂȘ aumentou a sua promiscuidade tambĂ©m com a BabilĂŽnia, uma terra de comerciantes, mas nem com isso ficou satisfeita.
30 “Como vocĂȘ tem pouca força de vontade, palavra do Soberano, o SENHOR, quando vocĂȘ faz todas essas coisas, agindo como uma prostituta descarada!
31 Quando construĂ­a os seus altares idĂłlatras em cada esquina e fazia seus santuĂĄrios elevados em cada praça pĂșblica, vocĂȘ sĂł nĂŁo foi como prostituta porque desprezou o pagamento.
