lustful, sexually aroused (of horses/men)
A rare participial form appearing in Jeremiah 5:8, describing Israelite men as lustful stallions. The prophet uses shocking imagery: fed horses pawing and neighing after their neighbors' wives. The Hebrew is textually challenging—ancient versions differ, and the precise meaning has been debated. Aquila and Theodotion translate it as 'dragging' (their genitalia), suggesting explicit sexual imagery. The Vulgate uses 'trahentes' (pulling), while others propose emendations to clarify the meaning as 'lustful' or 'well-fed.' The passage's raw language underscores prophetic denunciation of covenant infidelity expressed through sexual metaphor.

1. sense 1 — In Jeremiah 5:8, this participial adjective describes men as 'fed horses, roaming/lustful'—the phrase מַשְׁכִּים הָיוּ captures unbridled sexual desire. Spanish renders 'relinchones' (neighing ones), emphasizing the animalistic comparison. French and German bracket the Hebrew, perhaps reflecting the term's textual difficulty. The prophet's metaphor equates covenant violation with animal lust—men acting like stallions, driven by instinct rather than covenant faithfulness. The domain classification as 'Sensory Events' captures the bodily dimension, though 'sexual ethics' or 'moral transgression' might better fit Jeremiah's prophetic critique. 1×
