24<\/strong>. an eminent place<\/em> ] The term is used of the “back,” the “boss” of a buckler, and the like, and means something elevated to some extent and probably arched; R.V. marg. vaulted chamber<\/em>. It appears to be the same thing which is called a “high place” or rather: height, or elevated place, in this verse and Eze 16:25<\/em><\/span> (a different word from that usually rendered “high place”). Small shrines must be meant, as they were put in every street, and at every head of the way. If the places were arches or vaults there is no reason to suppose that they were used for literal prostitution, as A.V. marg. suggests. The language is figurative for idolatry, Jer 2:20<\/span>; Jer 3:2<\/span>.<\/p>\n That thou … – <\/B>Render it: after that thou didst build unto thee an eminent place, and didst make thee an high place in every street – after that thou didst build thy high place at the head of every way and didst make …it came to pass, that thou didst also commit fornication etc.<\/P> An eminent place – <\/B>literally, an arched building. Such places were used as brothels, and so the word is used metaphorically for a place of idol-worship.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 24<\/span>. Thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place<\/B><\/I>] gab<\/I>, a stew<\/I> or brothel<\/I>; Vulg. lupanar<\/I>; Septuag. . So my old MS. Bible, a bordel house<\/I>. “Thou hast builded thy stewes and bordell houses in every place.” – Coverdale’s<\/I> Bible, 1535. Bordel<\/I> is an Italian<\/I> word: how it got so early into our language I know not. Our modern word brothel<\/I> is a corruption of it. Diodati<\/I> translates, Tu hai edificato un bordello, “Thou hast built a brothel.” Houses of this kind were of a very ancient date.<\/P> <\/p>\n Hast also built, <\/B>with great charge and pains, as those do. who build, hereby declaring thy purposes of continuing thy lewdness. <\/P> Unto thee; <\/B>for thyself, grown so prodigiously public, and followed with such numbers, and such great ones, that no common place was thought great enough, or stately enough. <\/P> An eminent place; <\/B>not only eminent for its situation, but for its structure, that it might invite men in, and have room to treat them, unless you will refer the words that follow to the manner of the building, and the former words to the height of the situation. <\/P> An high place in every street; <\/B>idol temples and brothel-houses were in every street; so common were these sins with the Jews; in every large street capable of and frequented with much company. This in Jerusalem and her cities. <\/P> <\/p>\n 24. eminent place<\/B>rather, “afornication-chamber,” often connected with the impure rites ofidolatry; spiritual fornication, on “an eminent place,”answering to “fornication-chamber,” is mainly meant, withan allusion also to the literal fornication associated with it(Jer 2:20<\/span>; Jer 3:2<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n [That] thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place<\/strong>,…. Or a “brothel” k; and so the Septuagint version, “a whoring house”; not content to commit idolatry privately, they built a public place for idolatrous worship. The Targum renders it, “altar”, The word has the signification of a pit or ditch; with which compare Pr 22:14<\/span>;<\/p>\n and hast made thee an high place in every street<\/strong>; of Jerusalem, and other cities; it was usual to erect high places in streets, where altars were built, and idols set up to be worshipped: it denotes the public manner in which they committed idolatry, and the multitude of their idols; which shows their impudence and hardness of heart.<\/p>\n k , Sept. “lupanar”, V. L. “prostibulum”, so some in Starckius.<\/p>\n (24) Built unto thee an eminent place.<\/strong>The word means literally, arches. <\/em>Such arched rooms were used in connection with the worship of idols for licentious purposes, and hence the translation of the margin indicates the real object of the structure, whether the word be taken in its literal sense, or spiritually, of unfaithfulness to God. In the following verse the indiscriminateness of Israels idolatry is expressed in the strongest terms, and then in the following verses the adoption of the idolatries of several nations in particular is specified.<\/p>\n 24<\/strong>. <\/strong> An eminent place <\/strong> Rather, vaulted chamber, <\/em> or dome <\/em> (R.V. and Kautzsch). <\/p>\n A high place in every street <\/strong> The word used here and in the next verse is not the one usually rendered “high place.” It may mean a small shrine where lived the religious harlot, as was customary in the streets of foreign cities. With the preceding verse there is a passing from Canaanitish worship to that of foreign countries, the intimation being that Jerusalem gathered to itself all the various abominations of every land.<\/p>\n Eze 16:24<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>An eminent place<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> A brothel-house. <\/em>Houbigant. See also Eze 16:31<\/span>; Eze 16:39<\/span>. Instead of, Hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, <\/em>Eze 16:25<\/span> he reads, And, dishonouring thy beauty, thou hast, <\/em>&c. <\/p>\n Eze 16:24<\/span> [That] thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.<\/p>\n Ver. 24. That thou hast also built unto thee.<\/strong> ] How stintless is sin, and how like is this to Jeremiah’s preaching! Jer 2:3-8 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n An eminent place.<\/strong> ] Or brothel house, that thy madness may appear to all men.<\/p>\n eminent places = brothel house. Put by Figure of speech Metonymy (of Subject), App-6, for the idol’s temple. <\/p>\n thou hast: Eze 16:31, Eze 16:39, Eze 20:28, Eze 20:29, 2Ki 21:3-7, 2Ki 23:5-7, 2Ki 23:11, 2Ki 23:12, 2Ch 33:3-7 <\/p>\n eminent place: or, brothel house <\/p>\n and hast: Lev 26:30, Psa 78:58, Isa 57:5, Isa 57:7, Jer 2:20, Jer 3:2, Jer 17:3 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 1Ki 14:23 – built Pro 7:12 – General Jer 3:6 – she is Jer 3:13 – and hast scattered Jer 6:15 – blush Jer 44:21 – and in Eze 16:27 – delivered<\/p>\n Eze 16:24. The word place occurs in the A.V. here and in a number of other verses but it has no original as a separate word. Eminent place is from one original word and literally means a higher spot Of some kind. Idolatry is compared to moral evil, especially in the marriage relation, hence the conclusion is that this eminent place meant some provision for the entertainment of men in fornication.<\/p>\n Eze 16:24-26. Thou hast also built thee an eminent place in every street Manasseh filled Jerusalem with idols, 2Ch 33:4-5; 2Ch 33:15; the altars of many of which were placed upon high or eminent places. At every head of the way Not content with what was done in the streets of Jerusalem and other cities, thou hast erected thine altars in the country, wherever it was likely passengers would come. Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians While the Israelites sojourned in Egypt they learned to practise the Egyptian idolatries. From Josiahs time the Jews were in strict confederacy with the Egyptians, and, to ingratiate themselves with them, practised their idolatries; and the worship of Tammuz, the idolatry they are upbraided with, chap. Eze 8:14, was derived from that country. Great of flesh Who are naturally lusty and strong, and men of great stature. This expression seems to signify that the Israelites were allured by the riches and grandeur of Egypt to imitate their idolatries.<\/p>\n [That] thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee a high place in every street. 24. an eminent place ] The term is used of the “back,” the “boss” of a buckler, and the like, and means something elevated to some extent and probably arched; R.V. marg. vaulted chamber.
