tookest thy . . . garments . . . coveredst them--that is, the idols, as if an adulteress were to cover her paramours with garments which she had received from the liberality of her husband.
my oil--the holy anointing oil sacred to God (Exo 30:22-25). Also that used in sacrifices (Lev 2:1-2). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Mine oil and mine incense - The oil was the produce of the land, the incense received in exchange for such produce. Both were the gifts of Yahweh and belonged to Him; yet the oil Exo 25:6; Exo 29:40 and the incense Exo 30:34, prepared for the service of God, were used in idol-worship. In nature worship the worshippers were especially lavish in vegetable products like incense. |

| Coveredst - Didst clothe the images thou hadst made. Set mine oil - In lamps to burn before them. |

24 And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
