nakedness, lust — possibly female nakedness exposed for immoral purposes, or figuratively, shameless lust
This difficult word appears in Ezekiel's extended metaphor of Jerusalem as an unfaithful wife. The context involves sexual imagery—nakedness and harlotry. While spelled like the common word for 'bronze,' the context demands a different meaning, perhaps 'lust' or 'naked shame.' The text may be corrupt, and ancient interpreters proposed various readings. The larger passage uses shocking language to depict covenant unfaithfulness as sexual betrayal.

1. sense 1 — A disputed noun with feminine possessive suffix in Ezekiel 16:36, possibly meaning 'your nakedness' or 'your lust,' though the text is textually problematic. The verse parallels this word with 'nakedness/pudenda' (עֶרְוָה), suggesting sexual exposure or lustful behavior. The consonants match 'bronze' (נְחשֶׁת), but context requires a sexual term. Medieval Jewish commentators suggested 'lust' or 'harlotry,' while modern scholars propose various emendations (תַּזְנוּתַיִךְ 'your harlotries,' בָּשְׁתֵּךְ 'your shame'). The passage uses extreme sexual language to depict idolatry as adultery. 1×
