Ezekiel 23:19

19. Yet she multiplied her whoredoms She was not true to her new Babylonian paramour, nor did she return to her rightful husband, but ever courted other foreign alliances, especially with Egypt. (See Ezekiel 16:32; Isaiah 30:31.) Calling to remembrance the days of her youth See notes Ezekiel 5:3. It is only natural that during the centuries which Israel spent in Egypt she should have been impressed with the rich and splendid ritual. A new light has been thrown upon the worship of the golden calf in the wilderness by the discovery of an Egyptian text which states that a silver calf of six hundred pounds weight was yearly offered to the great god of Pithom the city which the Israelites built (Exodus 1:11), and which was situated on the edge of the land of Goshen, where they lived.
