Exegesis
Its direct object etkolmeahavayikh {אֶת־כָּל־מְאַהֲבַיִךְ | ʾeṯ-kōl-məʾăḥăvayīḵ} ‘all your lovers’ is specified by a series of relative clauses with asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾăšer} ‘whom’ and Qal perfect verbs (aravt {עָרַבְתְּ | ʿāravt} ‘you mingled yourself with’, ahavt {אָהַבְתְּ | ʾāhavt} ‘you loved’, sanet {שָׂנֵאת | sānēt} ‘you hated’), forming an accumulative list of infidelities.
In context — Ezekiel 16:37
Therefore, behold, I am gathering all your lovers whom you have mingled with, and all those whom you have loved, along with all those whom you have hated. And I will gather them against you from every side and will uncover your nakedness , so that they may see all your nakedness.
