Exegesis
The phrase el erets kenaʿan {אֶל־אֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן | ʾel ʾe-reṣ kə-na-ʿan} situates the infidelity within Israel’s ancestral territory, while the adverbial kasdîmah {כַשְׂדִּימָה | kas-dî-māh} extends it to Chaldea.
In context — Ezekiel 16:29
And you multiplied your fornication to Canaan, the land of trade , to Chaldea; and even with this you were not satisfied.
