Summary

In Ezekiel 16:10, God describes His care and provision for Jerusalem, symbolized as a newborn baby abandoned in a field. The Lord tenderly nurtures and protects the city, providing clothing and shoes to cover her nakedness and adorning her with jewelry. This imagery illustrates God's grace and faithfulness towards His chosen people, despite their unfaithfulness. It serves as a reminder of God's unwavering love and desire to restore and bless His people, even in their brokenness and sin.

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

I clothed thee also with broidered work - Cloth on which various figures, in various colors, were wrought by the needle. With badgers'skin - See Exo 25:6. The same kind of skin with which the tabernacle was covered. Fine linen - בשש beshesh, with cotton. I have seen cloth of this kind enveloping the finest mummies. I covered thee with silk - משי meshi. Very probably the produce of the silk-worm.
