Exegesis

The phrase lə-kol ’ō-wêr {לְכָל־עוֹבֵ֑ר | lə-kol ’ō-wêr} ‘to every passerby’ underscores indiscriminate openness, and the Hiphil imperfect vattə-rabbî {וַתַּרְבִּ֖י | vattə-rabbî} ‘you multiplied’ with et taz-nû-tā-yîḵ {אֶת־תַּזְנוּתָֽיִךְ | et taz-nû-tā-yîḵ} highlights recurring unfaithfulness through idolatrous acts.

In context — Ezekiel 16:25

At every head of the way you built your high place, and you caused your beauty to be abhorred, and you spread your feet to every passerby, and you multiplied your harlotries .
