Exegesis
The spatial phrase el-penei hasadeh {אֶל־פְּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה | ʾel-pə-nê ha-śā-deh} “into the open field” evokes public disgrace.
In context — Ezekiel 16:5
No eye pitied you to do for you one of these things in compassion; but you were thrown into the open field, because you were loathed on the day you were born.
