Exegesis
The locative bĕtōkhāh {בְּתוֹכָ֔הּ | bĕ-ṯō-ḵāh} ‘in her midst’ frames the entire statement as an internal corruption.
The Hifil perfect hir-bū bĕtōkhāh {הִרְבּ֥וּ בְתוֹכָֽהּ | hir-bū bĕ-ṯō-ḵāh} ‘they have multiplied in her midst’ highlights the resultant widows.
In context — Ezekiel 22:25
The conspiracy of her prophets in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing prey; they have devoured souls , they have seized treasure and precious things, and they have made many widows in her midst.
