Exegesis
The conjunction ve’el-heharim {וְאֶל־הֶֽהָרִים֙ | wə-ʾel-hē-hā-rîm} ‘and on the mountains’ begins a parallel clause followed by akhlu {אָ֣כְלוּ | ’ā-ḵə-lû} ‘they eat’ and another bakh {בָּ֔ךְ | bā-ḵ} ‘in you,’ suggesting ritual feasting.
In context — Ezekiel 22:9
In you are men of slander in order to shed blood, and on the mountains within you they eat; lewdness they commit in your midst.
