8 “When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; ^aso I spread My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I ^bswore an oath to you and entered into a ^ccovenant with you, and ^dyou became Mine,” says the Lord God.

9 “Then I washed you in water; yes, I thoroughly washed off your blood, and I anointed you with oil.

10 I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of¹ badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk.

11 I adorned you with ornaments, ^aput bracelets on your wrists, ^band a chain on your neck.

12 And I put a jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.

13 Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. ^aYou ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly ^bbeautiful, and succeeded to royalty.

14 ^aYour fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord God.

15 ^a“But you trusted in your own beauty, ^bplayed the harlot because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by who would have it.

Ezekiel 16:10

I clothed thee also with broidered work - Cloth on which various figures, in various colors, were wrought by the needle.

With badgers' skin - See Exodus 25:6. The same kind of skin with which the tabernacle was covered.

Fine linen - beshesh , with cotton. I have seen cloth of this kind enveloping the finest mummies.

I covered thee with silk - meshi . Very probably the produce of the silk-worm.
