Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 23:3

3 And they committed whoredoms in Egypt, they committed whoredoms in their youth : there were their breasts pressed , and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.

When they came down into Egypt, and sojourned there, possibly they might commit Bodily Whoredoms, but Spiritual Whoredoms; i. e. Idolatry they did certainly commit, as appears Ioh. 24.14. and Ezek. 20.7, 8. which see; in a low condition by converse with the Idolatrous Egyptians, they fell in with their Idolatry.

Early, though 'tis no where said when they began, yet by this it appears, that 'twas not long after their coming down into Egypt.

This and what follows is an allusion, which illustrates what was before spoken; while they were constant to God, and his Worship, they were as Beautiful, chast, and lovely Virgins, when seduced to Idolatry, they became as loathsome Harlots, or Strumpets.
