The Hebrew word for "mound" is "גָּב" (gab), which can mean a back or a high place. In the context of Ezekiel, it symbolizes the pride and self-exaltation of Jerusalem, as they turned away from God to worship idols. Historically, these mounds were elevated platforms where altars were erected, signifying a deliberate act of rebellion against God's command to worship Him alone. This act of building a mound represents the spiritual adultery and unfaithfulness of the people, as they sought to elevate themselves and their desires above God's will. and made yourself a lofty shrine in every public square "Jampridem in Tiberim Syrus defluxit Orontes" Hebrew you builtוַתִּבְנִי־ (wat·tiḇ·nî-) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - second person feminine singular Strong's 1129: To build yourself לָ֖ךְ (lāḵ) Preposition | second person feminine singular Strong's Hebrew a mound גֶּ֑ב (geḇ) Noun - common singular Strong's 1354: The back, the top, rim, a boss, a vault, arch of eye, bulwarks and made וַתַּעֲשִׂי־ (wat·ta·‘ă·śî-) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - second person feminine singular Strong's 6213: To do, make yourself לָ֥ךְ (lāḵ) Preposition | second person feminine singular Strong's Hebrew a lofty shrine רָמָ֖ה (rā·māh) Noun - feminine singular Strong's 7413: Height, high place in every בְּכָל־ (bə·ḵāl) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct Strong's 3605: The whole, all, any, every public square. רְחֽוֹב׃ (rə·ḥō·wḇ) Noun - feminine singular Strong's 7339: A broad open place, plaza Links Ezekiel 16:24 NIVEzekiel 16:24 NLT Ezekiel 16:24 ESV Ezekiel 16:24 NASB Ezekiel 16:24 KJV Ezekiel 16:24 BibleApps.com Ezekiel 16:24 Biblia Paralela Ezekiel 16:24 Chinese Bible Ezekiel 16:24 French Bible Ezekiel 16:24 Catholic Bible OT Prophets: Ezekiel 16:24 That you have built to you (Ezek.
