And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.

in Egypt: Ezekiel 20:8, Leviticus 17:7, Deuteronomy 29:16, Joshua 24:14

And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.

the names: The kingdom of Israel, of which Samaria was the capital, containing ten tribes, and occupying a larger extent of country than that of Judah, is therefore called "her elder sister;" and Aholah, the name given to her, implies that the whole religious establishment in Israel was a human invention, a temple and service of their own, and not of God's appointment. Aholibah, the name given to Judah, implies that the worship established there was from God, and that His temple was truly at Jerusalem.
the elder: Ezekiel 16:40, 1 Kings 12:20
they were: Ezekiel 16:8, Ezekiel 16:20, Exodus 19:5, Exodus 19:6, Psalms 45:11-16, Jeremiah 2:2, Jeremiah 2:3, Romans 7:4

And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,

Aholah: The Israelites, in addition to their former gross idolatries, received the impure idolatrous worship of the Assyrians, who became their neighbours by the conquest of Syria. 1 Kings 14:9, 1 Kings 14:16, 1 Kings 15:26, 1 Kings 15:30, 1 Kings 16:31, 1 Kings 16:32, 1 Kings 21:26, 2 Kings 17:7-18

Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.

committed her whoredoms with them: Heb. bestowed her whoredoms upon them, Ezekiel 16:15

Reciprocal: Ezekiel 23:5 - doted

8.

Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.

whoredoms: Ezekiel 23:3, Ezekiel 23:19, Ezekiel 23:21, Exodus 32:4, 1 Kings 12:28, 2 Kings 10:29, 2 Kings 17:16

Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.

And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms.

her sister: Ezekiel 23:4, Jeremiah 3:8
was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she: Heb. she corrupted her inordinate love more than she. her sister in her whoredoms. Heb. the whoredoms of her sister. Ezekiel 16:47-51, Jeremiah 3:8-11

She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.

Reciprocal: Genesis 39:7 - cast Ezekiel 16:15 - and playedst Ezekiel 23:30 - thou hast Ezekiel 38:4 - all of them

Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,

Reciprocal: Ezekiel 23:40 - ye have 2 Peter 2:21 - to turn

14.

And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,

portrayed: Ezekiel 8:10, Isaiah 46:1, Jeremiah 50:2
vermilion: Jeremiah 22:14
Reciprocal: Isaiah 57:8 - the doors Ezekiel 6:9 - their eyes Ezekiel 16:17 - hast also Ezekiel 16:29 - unto Ezekiel 23:19 - multiplied

Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:

with girdles: 1 Samuel 18:4, Isaiah 22:21
all of: Judges 8:18, 2 Samuel 14:25
look to: That is, "princes in appearance;" which seem to have been the deified men worshipped by the Chaldeans. The inhabitants of Judah, like the Israelites, connected themselves with the Assyrians, and were enamoured with their idols; and then with the Chaldeans, and followed their idols; still retaining their attachment to the Egyptians and their idolatrous rites.

16.

And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.

as soon as she saw them with her eyes: Heb. at the sight of her eyes, Ezekiel 16:29, Genesis 3:6, Genesis 6:2, Genesis 39:7, 2 Samuel 11:2, 2 Kings 24:1, Job 31:1, Psalms 119:37, Proverbs 6:25, Proverbs 23:33, Matthew 5:28

17.

And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.

Babylonians: Heb. children of Babel, Genesis 10:10, Genesis 11:9
and her: Ezekiel 23:22, Ezekiel 23:28, Ezekiel 16:37, 2 Samuel 13:15

So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.

Reciprocal: Ezekiel 16:57 - thy wickedness Ezekiel 23:29 - the nakedness Hosea 9:15 - I hated

19.

Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

multiplied: Ezekiel 23:14, Ezekiel 16:25, Ezekiel 16:29, Ezekiel 16:51, Amos 4:4

Reciprocal: Leviticus 15:3 - General Ezekiel 23:5 - doted

21.

Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.

Reciprocal: Ezekiel 23:3 - in their Ezekiel 23:8 - whoredoms Ezekiel 23:19 - in calling John 5:43 - come

they shall take away: This refers to the severe vengeance which enraged husbands took on their faithless wives, and implies that God would employ the Chaldeans to destroy the princes and priests of Judah, for violating their covenants and treaties. Such punishments were anciently common; and such is the present practice in one of the South Sea Islands.
they shall take thy: Ezekiel 23:47, Hosea 2:4, Hosea 2:5

so that: These severe judgments shall effectually deter you from idolatry, and make you abhor the least approaches to it. This often repeated prediction has received a most wonderful accomplishment. For neither the authority, frowns, examples, or favour of their conquerors or powerful neighbours, nor their own fears, hopes, interests, or predilection for the sensual worship of idols, could prevail with them to run into gross idolatry, either during the captivity, or ever afterwards, to the present day, a period of 2,414 years.
