Ezekiel 23:10

Context
23:10 They exposed her nakedness, seized her sons and daughters, and killed her with the sword. She became notorious 1  among women, and they executed judgments against her.

Ezekiel 23:12

Context
23:12 She lusted after the Assyrians – governors and officials, warriors in full armor, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.

Ezekiel 23:20

Context
23:20 She lusted after their genitals – as large as those of donkeys, 2  and their seminal emission was as strong as that of stallions.

1 tn Heb “name.”

2 tn Heb “She lusted after their concubines (?) whose flesh was the flesh of donkeys.” The phrase “their concubines” is extremely problematic here. The pronoun is masculine plural, suggesting that the Egyptian men are in view, but how concubines would fit into the picture envisioned here is not clear. Some suggest that Ezekiel uses the term in an idiomatic sense of “paramour,” but this still fails to explain how the pronoun relates to the noun. It is more likely that the term refers here to the Egyptians’ genitals. The relative pronoun that follows introduces a more specific description of their genitals.
