This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They committed whoredoms in Egypt; 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 Jos_24:14 Eze_20:7,8, which see; in a low condition, by converse with the idolatrous Egyptians they fell in with their idolatry.
In their youth; early; though it is no where said when they began, yet by this it appears that it was not long after their coming down into Egypt.
There were their breasts pressed: 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, chaste, and lovely virgins; when seduced to idolatry, they became as loathsome harlots or strumpets.
