Commentary on Ezekiel 16:36

Theological / Devotional

Filthiness. Hebrew nechosheth, according to some authorities derived from the Akkadian nuhshu, “abundance,” in a derogatory sense, “extravagance.” Others derive nechosheth from the Akkadian nahshatu, “menstruation,” for which “filthiness” is a euphemism.

Blood of thy children. Infanticide in Molech worship (see on verse 20).
