Exegesis
The direct object marker et {אֵת | ʾēt} introduces the construct phrase zimmat neʿurayikh {זִמַּת נְעוּרָיִךְ | zim-mat ne-ʿū-rā-yiḵ} ‘lewdness of your youth,’ emphasizing moral disloyalty.
In context — Ezekiel 23:21
So you longed for the lewdness of your youth , when the Egyptians handled your breasts for the sake of the breasts of your youth.
