Ezekiel 16:24

Thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place - gab , a stew or brothel; Vulg. lupanar ; Septuag. . So my old MS. Bible, a bordel house. "Thou hast builded thy stewes and bordell houses in every place." - Coverdale' s Bible, 1636. Bordel is an Italian word: how it got so early into our language I know not. Our modern word brothel is a corruption of it. Diodati translates, Tu hai edificato un bordello , "Thou hast built a brothel." Houses of this kind were of a very ancient date.
