Ezekiel 23:27

27 And I have caused thy wickedness to cease from thee, And thy whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And thou liftest not up thine eyes unto them, And Egypt thou dost not remember again.

Ezekiel 23:27 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:27

Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee
That is, their idolatry; for, after this captivity, the Jews never were guilty of idolatry any more: and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt;
the idolatry which they learned there, and brought from thence; so the Targum,

``the worship of thine idols, which was with thee when thou wast in the land of Egypt:''

so that thou shall not lift up thine eyes unto them;
to the idols of Egypt, to pray unto them, and worship them: nor remember Egypt any more;
with any delight and pleasure, and so as to desire an alliance with them, and help from them, or to join with them in their idolatries: so the Targum,

``and the idols of the Egyptians thou shalt remember no more.''

Ezekiel 23:27 In-Context

25 And I have set My jealousy against thee, And they have dealt with thee in fury, Thy nose and thine ears they turn aside, And thy posterity by sword falleth, They, thy sons and thy daughters do take away, And thy posterity is devoured by fire.

26 And they have stripped thee of thy garments, And have taken thy beauteous jewels.

27 And I have caused thy wickedness to cease from thee, And thy whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And thou liftest not up thine eyes unto them, And Egypt thou dost not remember again.

28 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am giving thee into a hand that thou hast hated, Into a hand from which thou wast alienated.

29 And they have dealt with thee in hatred, And they have taken all thy labour, And they have left thee naked and bare, And revealed hath been the nakedness of thy whoredoms, And the wickedness of thy whoredoms.
