Ezequiel 16:24 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:24

[That] thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place
Or a "brothel" F11; and so the Septuagint version, "a whoring house"; not content to commit idolatry privately, they built a public place for idolatrous worship. The Targum renders it, "altar", The word has the signification of a pit or ditch; with which compare ( Proverbs 22:14 ) ( 23:27 ) ; and hast made thee an high place in every street;
of Jerusalem, and other cities; it was usual to erect high places in streets, where altars were built, and idols set up to be worshipped: it denotes the public manner in which they committed idolatry, and the multitude of their idols; which shows their impudence and hardness of heart.


FOOTNOTES:

F11 (bg) (oikhma pornikon) , Sept. "lupanar", V. L. "prostibulum", so some in Starckius.

Ezequiel 16:24 In-Context

22 Y con todas tus abominaciones y tus fornicaciones no te has acordado de los dĂ­as de tu mocedad, cuando estabas desnuda y descubierta, cuando estabas envuelta en tu sangre.
23 Y fué que después de toda tu maldad (¡ay, ay de ti! dice el Señor Jehová,)
24 Edificástete alto, y te hiciste altar en todas las plazas:
25 En toda cabeza de camino edificaste tu altar, y tornaste abominable tu hermosura, y abriste tus piernas á cuantos pasaban, y multiplicaste tus fornicaciones.
26 Y fornicaste con los hijos de Egipto, tus vecinos, de grandes carnes; y aumentaste tus fornicaciones para enojarme.
