Ezekiel 16:24 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Hast also built, with great charge and pains, as those do. who build, hereby declaring thy purposes of continuing thy lewdness. Unto thee; for thyself, grown so prodigiously public, and followed with such numbers, and such great ones, that no common place was thought great enough, or stately enough. An eminent place; not only eminent for its situation, but for its structure, that it might invite men in, and have room to treat them, unless you will refer the words that follow to the manner of the building, and the former words to the height of the situation. An high place in every street; idol temples and brothel-houses were in every street; so common were these sins with the Jews; in every large street capable of and frequented with much company. This in Jerusalem and her cities.

Ezekiel 16:24

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