Exegesis
The verse is structured as two parallel construct participles describing attire—chagorei ezor {חֲגוֹרֵי אֵזוֹר | ḥă-gō-rê ʾê-zōr} ‘girded with sashes around their waists’ and seruchei ṭəvūlîm {סְרוּחֵי טְבוּלִים | sə-rū-ḥê ṭə-ḇū-lîm} ‘flowing dyed cloths on their heads’. Each prepositional phrase (bə-matnê-hem, bə-rāšê-hem) marks physical location.
In context — Ezekiel 23:15
Girded with sashes around their waists and with flowing dyed cloths upon their heads, they had the appearance of officers , all of them like the sons of Babylon, the Chaldeans, of the land of their birth.
