Ezekiel 23:2
"The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,"
Key Reflection
In the context of Ezekiel's prophecies, this verse marks a continuation of divine revelations to the prophet concerning the faithlessness and idolatry of Israel and Judah. The original audience would have recognized that these words were part of a larger narrative warning about the consequences of apostasy, specifically referencing earlier sins in Egypt, where the people engaged in temple prostitution as a form of worshiping false gods, thus straying from their covenant with Yahweh.
