Exegesis
Finally, the temporal infinitive clause beyom hulledet otakh {בְּיוֹם הֻלֶּדֶת אֹתָךְ | bə-yôm hul-le-deṯ ʾō-ṯāḵ} “on the day you were born” frames the condition from the moment of birth.
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.
