Ezekiel 16:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ “‘When I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, I said to you ·as you lay in your blood [^Lin your blood], “Live!”^{[a] 7} I made you ·grow [flourish] like a plant in the field. You grew up and ·became tall [or matured; developed] and ·became like a beautiful jewel [or entered puberty; reached womanhood]. Your breasts formed, and your hair grew, but you were naked and ·without clothes [bare; exposed].

⁸ “‘Later when I passed by you and looked at you, ·I saw that [^Tbehold] you were old enough for love. So I spread ·my robe [^Lthe corner of my garment; Deut. 22:30; Ruth 3:9] over you and covered your nakedness. I also ·made a promise [swore; made a vow] to you and entered into an ·agreement [covenant; treaty; Ex. 19:5] with you so that you became mine, says the Lord God.
