Exegesis

The interjection wehinneh {וְהִנֵּ֤ה | wə-hin-nēh} ‘and behold’ introduces the evaluation clause ittekh ʿet dodim {עִתֵּךְ עֵת דֹּדִים | ʿit-tēkh ʿēt dō-dîm} ‘your time {was} a time of love’.

In context — Ezekiel 16:8

I passed by you and saw you, and behold, it was the season of love, and I spread my wing over you and covered your nakedness . I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Lord GOD , and you became mine.
