Ezekiel 16:24 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

That thou ... - Render it: after that thou didst build “unto thee an eminent place,” and didst make “thee an high place in every street” - after that thou didst build “thy high place at the head of every way and” didst make ...”it came to pass, that thou” didst “also” commit “fornication” etc.

An eminent place - literally, “an arched building.” Such places were used as brothels, and so the word is used metaphorically for a place of idol-worship.

Ezekiel 16:24

24 That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.
