"Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in the handling of thy bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy youth." — Ezekiel 23:21 (ASV)
Thus you called to remembrance the lewdness of your youth ,
&c.] By committing the same; the same idolatries their fathers committed in Egypt they now committed, being in alliance with the same people: or, you caused to be visited the lewdness of your youth
F1 ; by the Lord, who remembered their sins, and punished them for them: in bruising your teats by the Egyptians for the paps of your youth :
committing spiritual fornication, that is, idolatry with them; signified by pressing and bruising the breasts and paps of virgins, by corporeal fornication with them.
