Ezekiel 23:41 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Safest; it is a table gesture, as appears, she was prepared to feast them. Upon a stately bed; a magnificent, rich bed, on which women sat to feast, when men leant on their sides, which would not have been a comely posture to a woman. Table prepared; table furnished with choicest provision, such as made for feasts, when solemn sacrifices were offered, or when vows were paid, as the harlot, Proverbs 7:14,15. Set mine incense: this assures us that idolatrous worship was acted by her in compliance with the Chaldeans, offered to their idols, and then feasted the idolaters, with what God had given her, when they confirmed their leagues, and swore by false gods.

Ezekiel 23:41

41 And satest upon a statelyh bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil.
