Broidered work ; the "raiment of needlework" of Psalms 45:14 ; 5:30 ; Exodus 35:35 ; Exodus 38:23 . The word meets us again in Ezekiel 27:24 , as among the imports of Tyre from Egypt. Curiously enough, the Hebrew verb ( rakam ) has passed through Arabic into tide languages of Western Europe, and we have the Italian ricamare, the Spanish recamare, the French recamer, for" embroidering." Badgers' skin. Elsewhere in the Old Testament the word is found only in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 16:12

A jewel on thy forehead; better, with the Revised Version, a ring upon thy nose. The word has the same meaning in Genesis 24:47 ("earring" in the Authorized Version); Isaiah 3:21 (where the Authorized Version gives "nose jewels"); Proverbs 11:22 . Jerome, however, notes ( in loc. ) that the Syrian women of his time wore pendants or lockets that hung from the forehead to the nostrils. The crown, or diadem ( LXX ; στέφανος καυχήσεως ) , the thin circlet of gold confining... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:1-43

The unfaithfulness of Jerusalem (16:1-43)In this chapter Ezekiel describes Judah’s relationship with Yahweh by means of a long and colourful illustration. The ancient nation Israel began life in Canaan as a hated people of mixed blood and mixed culture. It was like an unwanted baby girl thrown out at birth and left to die (16:1-5). Then a passing traveller (Yahweh) picked the baby up and gave it a chance to live. The girl survived and grew, though without training or upbringing (6-7).Many years... read more
