Exegesis
The clause vatishchodi {וַתִּשְׁחֳדִ֣י | va-tiš-ḥō-dî} ‘and you bribed’ otam {אוֹתָ֗ם | ō-tām} to lavo elayikh {לָב֥וֹא אֵלַ֛יִךְ | lā-vō ʾē-lai-ykh} ‘come to you’ from missaviv {מִסָּבִ֖יב | mis-sā-vîv} ‘all around’ culminates with betaznutayikh {בְּתַזְנוּתָֽיִךְ | bə-taz-nu-tā-yīḵ} ‘in your whoredoms,’ framing the context. This structure uses contrast and inversion to highlight the perversion of normal social exchange and deliberate corruption.
