This secondary root of the common verb 'to do/make' takes on a specific physical meaning: to press or squeeze, particularly in a sexual context. It appears exclusively in Ezekiel 23, where the prophet uses graphic language to describe Jerusalem and Samaria's spiritual adultery as literal sexual immorality. The verb describes the handling of young women's breasts, symbolizing Israel's illicit alliances with foreign nations. The Piel form intensifies the action—repeated or forceful handling. This stark imagery underscores the intimacy and betrayal involved in covenant unfaithfulness.
