Context of Ezekiel 16:10

8“When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; so I spread My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you 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.
