Yehezkiel 16:15

16:15 “‘But you trusted in your beauty and capitalized on your fame by becoming a prostitute. You offered your sexual favors to every man who passed by so that your beauty ¹  became his.

Yehezkiel 16:24-25

16:24 you built yourself a chamber ²  and put up a pavilion ³  in every public square. 16:25 At the head of every street you erected your pavilion and you disgraced ⁴  your beauty when you spread ⁵  your legs to every passerby and multiplied your promiscuity.

[16:15]  ¹ tn Heb “it” (so KJV, ASV); the referent (the beauty in which the prostitute trusted, see the beginning of the verse) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:24]  ² tn The Hebrew גֶּב (gev) may represent more than one word, each rare in the Old Testament. It may refer to a “mound” or to “rafters.” The LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate interpret this as a brothel.

[16:24]  ³ tn Or “lofty place” (NRSV). See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 1:229, and B. Lang, Frau Weisheit, 137.

[16:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “treated as if abominable,” i.e., repudiated.

[16:25]  ⁵ tn The only other occurrence of the Hebrew root is found in Prov 13:3 in reference to the talkative person who habitually “opens wide” his lips.
