Brenton Septuagint Translation:
She has even given rewards to all that went a-whoring after her, and thou hast given rewards to all thy lovers, yea, thou didst load them with rewards, that they should come to thee from every side for thy fornication.
She has even given rewards to all that went a-whoring after her, and thou hast given rewards to all thy lovers, yea, thou didst load them with rewards, that they should come to thee from every side for thy fornication.
Footnotes
| Eze. 16:33 | Eze. 16:33 The Hebrew term נדה primarily carries the sense of “to droop, languish, be weak, or be afflicted”, with additional legal usage referring to menstrual impurity or the menstruant (see Leviticus and related ritual texts). In poetic or narrative contexts, the meaning can extend metaphorically to “affliction, separation, or weakness”, depending on context. In Ezekiel 16:33, the noun נֵדֶה appears in a unique context describing payments associated with prostitution. Lexical sources (Strong’s H5077, BDB, NASB) treat it as a hapax legomenon, translating it as “gift,” “bounty,” or “reward”, derived from the root נָדָה in the sense of “freely casting or flinging”. The semantic pathway is thus:
The verb שָׁחַד provides us more understanding of this semantic field, meaning “to bribe, give inducement, or corrupt by material reward.” The 2nd person feminine singular imperfect ותשחדי (“and you will give a bribe”) refers to the action of giving the gift, while נדה denotes the bounty/gift itself. |
| Eze. 16:33 | Eze. 16:33 The word נדניך (nādneykh) is an Aramaic masculine noun, the plural form of נדן (nadan). It translates to "your sheaths." See Julius Fürst's A Hebrew & Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament (1885, p. 902). The root of נדן is נדן, which means "to be hollow" or "to be deepened out" for containing something. Therefore, a sheath is literally "the holding, containing" part of a hollow object, like a scabbard for a sword. The lexicon also provides a metaphorical meaning for נדן: the body, which is seen as a "sheath" for the soul. Julius Fürst, A Hebrew & Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament, 4th ed., trans. Samuel Davidson (Leipzig: Bernard Tauchnitz, 1885), page 902. |
