Exegesis

A second negation lōʾ hišlikhu {לֹא הִשְׁלִיכוּ | lōʾ hiš-liḵû} mirrors the first to emphasize their persistence, while the construct chain wə-ʾēṯ-gilullei miṣrāyim {וְאֶת־גִּלּוּלֵי מִצְרָיִם | wə-ʾēṯ gil-lu-lê miṣ-rā-yim} ‘and the idols of Egypt’ specifies the objects of their loyalty.

In contextEzekiel 20:8

But they rebelled against Me and were unwilling to listen to Me; they did not cast away the detestable things of their eyes , nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said that I would pour out My wrath upon them to bring My anger to completion in the midst of the land of Egypt.
