How come these verses exist in the Bible?

[Usher55]

Why are these in God's Holy Book?

"She lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like the genitals of donkeys and whose ejaculation was like the ejaculation of horses."
"And she was mad with lust after lying with them whose flesh is as the flesh of asses: and whose issue as the issue of horses."
"My beloved put his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him."

The first two verses are from Ezekiel 23. This chapter describes the spiritual infidelity of Israel and Judah, picturing them as two sisters. Ezekiel refers to Oholah and Oholibah and identifies them as Samaria (the capital of Israel) and Jerusalem (the capital of Judah) in Ezekiel 23:4.

Both Oholah and Oholibah engaged in prostitution (spiritual infidelity) in Egypt in their youth (Ezekiel 23:3). The older sister, Oholah, later played the harlot with the Assyrians (verses 5–8). That is, Samaria and Israel had sought fulfillment and security by aligning themselves with idolatrous Assyria. The punishment of Oholah fit her crime: “Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, the Assyrians, for whom she lusted. They stripped her naked, took away her sons and daughters and killed her with the sword” (verses 9–10). Israel was conquered and her people deported to Assyria in 722 BC (2 Kings 17). The Assyrians were the instruments God used to inflict His judgments upon Israel.

In Ezekiel 23:11–21, Ezekiel portrays the younger sister, Oholibah, as even more corrupt and promiscuous than Oholah. Rather than learning from her sister’s mistakes, Oholibah craved after the Babylonian idols and then the Chaldean lifestyle, committing spiritual prostitution with the Babylonians. Because of Jerusalem’s and Judah’s idolatries God alienated Himself from them and allowed them, too, to be taken into captivity: “I will turn you over to them for punishment, and they will punish you according to their standards. I will direct my jealous anger against you, and they will deal with you in fury” (verses 24–25). Oholibah had learned nothing from her sister’s sad story, and Judah finally fell to Babylon in 586 BC.

The 3rd verse is from Song of Solomon 5:4. Another translation of the verses writes “My beloved put his hand to the latch, and my heart was thrilled within me.” The entirety of the book is a visual marriage; something to be celebrated and revered. Both the husband and wife are confident and secure in their love, they sing of the lasting nature of true love, and they yearn to be in each other’s presence.

It means she desired objectifying relationships with those who favoured her and their vulnerabilities were like those that raised her souls

And she was corrupted by greed once she exploited her servants whose efforts were like aggressions and whose purposes were the purposes of robbery

My celebrator put his heart on the opportunity and my weaknesses were exposed before him

The first two refer to the crime of moral judgement and social exploitation

The second verse refers to the thought processes of a woman who is in love and considering the agonies of child bearing

These verses speak for themselves. Why would they be that sexual and erotic? God says Black, you say White. God says Cheese, you say Spaghetti-O's WITH Apple Sauce!

[Guy13]

I don’t see a passage reference. Bible?

[Usher55]

Somewhere in the Song of Songs, Song of Solomon.

[XHopelessRomanticX]

The first 2 are found in Ezekiel 23. The third is Songs of Solomon 5:4

[Guy13]

Alright. So, it’s a book of the times and the people as it is a descriptor. Where do you think we get our language references from.

[Sirenboobzilla]

Because it was written by man
