Whether the Israelites were forced thereunto by the rigour of the Egyptians, or whether they yielded thereunto through undue fear, or through custom of the place, or through a natural proneness to idolatry, is not fully expressed. But sure it is that in Egypt they committed whoredoms in their youth. There were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their Virginity, Ezek. 23.3.

Ezek. 20.7, 8.
