Ezequiel 23:41 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:41

And satest upon a stately bed
Or honourable F7, a bed of state: either a throne, a royal seat under a canopy, on which the king of Judah sat to receive foreign ambassadors; or a stately bed at a feast, made for the entertainment of them; it being usual in the eastern nations to sit on beds at eating, to which the next clause agrees. The allusion is to a harlot sitting on a bed decked out by her to allure men to lie with her; see ( Proverbs 7:16 ) : and a table prepared before it;
before the bed, furnished with the richest provisions to treat the ambassadors with; or this may design an altar built for them to offer on it sacrifices to their idols, according to the customs of their countries: whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil;
which were the gifts of God to this people, and which they should have used in his service; but with these they treated the ministers of Heathen princes; scenting the room where they were entertained with incense, and anointing their heads and feet with oil, for their pleasure and refreshment; or they offered these on the altars of the idols to them.

Ezequiel 23:41 In-Context

39 pues habiendo sacrificado sus hijos a sus ídolos, se entraban en mi Santuario el mismo día para contaminarlo y he aquí, así hicieron en medio de mi Casa.
40 Y cuanto más, que enviaron por hombres que vienen de lejos, a los cuales había sido enviado mensajero; y he aquí vinieron; y por amor de ellos te lavaste, y pintaste tus ojos, y te ataviaste con adornos;
41 y te sentaste sobre suntuoso estrado, y fue adornada mesa delante de él, y sobre ella pusiste mi perfume y mi óleo.
42 Y se oyó en ella voz de compañía en fiesta; y con los varones fueron traídos los sabeos del desierto para multiplicar los hombres; y pusieron manillas sobre sus manos, y coronas de gloria sobre sus cabezas.
43 Y dije a la envejecida en adulterios: Ahora fenecerán sus fornicaciones, y ella con ellos ;
