Contextual Overview

15 But you trusted in your beauty, and you prostituted yourself because of your name, and poured out your fornications on all who passed by; it was to him! 16 And you took from your clothes and made for you high places of various colors, and fornicated on them, such as had not come, nor shall be. 17 And you have taken beautiful things of My gold and of My silver, which I had given to you, and you made images of males, and fornicated with them. 18 And you took your embroidered clothes and covered them. And My oil and My incense you have given to their face. 19 Also My food which I gave you, fine flour and oil and honey which I fed you, you have given it to their face for a soothing aroma. And it happened, declares the Lord Jehovah. 20 And you have taken your sons and your daughters whom you have borne to Me, and you sacrificed these to them for food. Are your fornications small? 21 You have slaughtered My sons, and you gave them to cause these to pass through the fire for them. 22 And in all your abominations and your fornications you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, when you were squirming in your blood. 23 Woe, woe to you, says the Lord Jehovah! For it happened, after all your evil, 24 Woe to you that you have also built yourself a mound, and you have made yourself a high place in every open place!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan,.... Or, "with the land of Canaan" l; with the inhabitants of it, doing the same evils, committing the same idolatries, as the old inhabitants of Canaan did; and so the Targum,

"and thou hast multiplied thine idols, that thou mightest be joined to the people of Canaan:''

or, "to the land of Canaan" m; like to the land of Canaan; according to the abominations of the Canaanites, doing as they did. Jarchi takes the word Canaan to signify a "merchant", as it does in Hosea 12:7; and the land of Canaan to be the same with the land of Chaldea, called a land of traffic, and Babylon the city of merchants, Ezekiel 17:4; since it follows,

unto Chaldea: but the sense is, that the Jews were not content with the idolatries in the land of Canaan, but sent even to Chaldea, a remote country, to fetch new idols from thence; see Ezekiel 23:14. The Targum is,

"to walk in the laws of the Chaldeans;''

their religious ones, their rites and ceremonies respecting idolatrous worship:

and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith; but still wanted other idols and modes of worship; not being content with the gods of the Egyptians, nor of the Assyrians, nor of the Canaanites, nor of the Chaldeans.

l אל ארץ כנען "cum terra Canaan", Munster, so some in Vatablus, Tigurine version, Noldius, p. 39. No. 288. m "ad terram Canaan", so some in Vatablus. Approved by Kimchi and Ben Melech.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In the land ... - Probably used in the restricted sense of the low lands on the coast of the western sea; occupied by Phoenician colonies. The children of Israel were brought into contact at first with pagans residing within their own borders. Then they extended their contact to foreign nations, trading and forming alliances with Chaldaea, and in so doing were attracted by the idolatries of those with whom they carried on commerce. Some render it: “with the merchants’ land, even with Chaldaea.” Compare Ezekiel 17:4.
