📚 Historical Context
In the book of Ezekiel, written during the Babylonian exile around the 6th century BC, the prophet uses allegorical stories to rebuke Israel for its spiritual unfaithfulness to God. This verse specifically recalls the nation's early history, including their time in Egypt, symbolizing idolatry and immoral alliances as acts of adultery against God. Ezekiel was warning the exiled people to turn from such sins to avoid further judgment.
