Exegesis
The construct shkhenayikh {שְׁכֵנַ֖יִךְ | šə-ḵē-na-yîḵ} ‘your neighbors’ intensifies relational betrayal, further specified by gidlei basar {גִּדְלֵ֣י בָשָׂר | giḏ-lē bā-sār} ‘great of flesh.’
In context — Ezekiel 16:26
And you committed fornication with the sons of Egypt, your neighbors who were great of flesh, and you multiplied your harlotries to provoke Me to anger.
