"and sit upon a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou didst set mine incense and mine oil." — Ezekiel 23:41 (ASV)
A stately bed is rather the couch or divan used for reclining at a feast. Mine incense and mine oil may be taken simply as the products of the land, the good gifts of God which Israel bestowed upon the heathen; but as both of these were especially used in sacrifices, it is better to connect with this the perversion to the worship of the idols of the heathen of what should have been Jehovah's alone.
