_ _ fornication with ... Egyptians — alliances with Egypt, cemented by sharing their idolatries.

_ _ great of flesh — of powerful virile parts; figuratively for the gross and lustful religion of Egypt (for example, Isis, etc.), which alone could satisfy the abominable lust of Israel (Ezekiel 20:7, Ezekiel 20:8; Ezekiel 23:19, Ezekiel 23:20, Ezekiel 23:21).

_ _ to provoke me — wantonly and purposely.

Matthew Henry's Commentary
