The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 16:13
Thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil . From the dress of the bride we pass to her luxuries in the way of food. The things named might, of course, be only chosen as the delicacies for which the land of Israel was famous ( Deuteronomy 32:13 , Deuteronomy 32:14 ), which in the prophet's own time were in demand in the markets of Tyre ( Ezekiel 27:17 ).

Then a passing traveller (Yahweh) picked the baby up and gave it a chance to live. The girl survived and grew, though without training or upbringing (6-7).Many years... read more
