Ezekiel23:41

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

'Tis a Table gesture, as appears, she was prepared to feast them.

A magnificent rich Bed, on which Women sate to Feast, when men leant on their sides, which would not have been a comely posture to a Woman.

Table furnisht with choicest provision, such as made for Feasts, when solemn Sacrifices were offered, or when vows were paid, as the Harlot, Prov. 7.14, 15.

This assures us that Idolatrous Worship was acted by her in complyance with the Chaldaeans, offered to their Idols, and then feasted the Idolaters, with what God had given her, when they confirm'd their Leagues, and swore by false Gods.

Marginal references: Heb. honourable.; Prov. 7.16.
