Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Ezek 16:26
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
Ezek 16:26 · Douay-Rheims
“And thou hast committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, men of large bodies, and hast multiplied thy fornications to provoke me.”
On this verse:
“fornication with . . . Egyptians--alliances with Egypt, cemented by sharing their idolatries. great of flesh--of powerful virile parts; figuratively for the gross and lustful religion of Egypt (for example, Isis, &c.), which alone could satisfy the abominable lust of Israel (Eze 20:7-8; Eze 23:19-21). to provoke me--wantonly and purposely.”
