Ezekiel 16:17
_ _ my gold ... my silver — (Haggai 2:8).
_ _ images of men — rather, “of the phallus,” the Hindu lingam, or membrum virile [Havernick], deified as the emblem of fecundity; man making his lust his god. English Version, however, is appropriate; Israel being represented as a woman playing the harlot with “male images,” that is, images of male gods, as distinguished from female deities. |
Ezekiel 16:17
Images — Statues, molten and graven images. Commit whoredom — Idolatry, spiritual adultery. And possibly here is an allusion to the rites of Adonis, or the images of Priapus. |
