Context of Ezekiel 16:9
7I made you grow as myriads, like a branch of the field. You grew up, got tall and came to full adornment. Your breasts were formed, your hair sprouted. Yet you were naked and bare. 8“Again I passed by and saw you, and behold, you were truly at the time of love. I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness. I swore to you and entered into a covenant with you,” says Adonai. “So you became Mine. Then I washed you with water, rinsed off your blood from on you and anointed you with oil. 10I clothed you with embroidery and put sandals of fine leather on you. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk. 11I adorned you with jewelry, put bracelets on your hands and a necklace on your neck.
