What does 'Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys’ mean (Ezekiel 23:20)?
11.06.2025 21:39
Here's the original Hebrew:
She lusted after them like the concubines of men whose male members are like those of a donkey and whose genitals are like those of a horse.
Here is that literally word for word:
Were any US Generals hurt or killed yesterday in Damascus, Syria, yesterday 5/9/24?
וַֽתַּעְגְּבָ֔ה עַ֖ל פִּֽלַגְשֵׁיהֶ֑ם אֲשֶׁ֤ר בְּשַׂר־חֲמֹורִים֙ בְּשָׂרָ֔ם וְזִרְמַ֥ת סוּסִ֖ים זִרְמָתָֽם׃
The chapter is a prophetic denunciation of Judah and Samaria, both of which had committed spiritual prostitution, that is, they had gone after false gods and pagan religion with a sort of sexual lustfulness, hence the prophet's words about them being like horny women going after men with huge penises.
Here's the translation into English:
Why are black people seen as scary or a threat to some people?
The full verse is way funnier when translated accurately and in modern English.
And for she lusted/for/her illicit lovers/whose/the flesh/of donkeys/is like/gushing of fluid [as in, the organ that provides that]/of horses/whose gushing of fluid.
