As the traveller in a wilderness is delighted at finding grapes to quench his thirst, or the early fig (esteemed a great delicacy in the East, Isa 28:4; Jer 24:2; Mic 7:1); so it was My delight to choose your fathers as My peculiar people in Egypt (Hos 2:15). at her first time--when the first-fruits of the tree become ripe. went to Baal-peor-- (Num 25:3): the Moabite idol, in whose worship young women prostituted themselves; the very sin Israel latterly was guilty of. separated themselves--consecrated themselves. unto that shame--to that shameful or foul idol (Jer 11:13). their abominations were according as they loved--rather, as Vulgate, "they became abominable like the object of their love" (Deu 7:26; Psa 115:8). English Version gives good sense, "their abominable idols they followed after, according as their lusts prompted them" (Amo 4:5, Margin).
