Scholars Debate Literal vs. Metaphorical Readings of Ezekiel 16:17

A recent viral video featuring PhD in theology and religion, Dan McClellan, has sparked discussion around the interpretation of a controversial biblical passage. The video, a response to another creator, delves into Ezekiel 16:17, which some interpret literally as referring to phallic images and fornication. McClellan, known for his academic insights, acknowledged the possibility of a literal reading. However, he emphasized that the Hebrew verb 'zanah' in this context is often used metaphorically throughout the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of worshipping other deities as a form of spiritual adultery against the God of Israel. This nuanced discussion highlights the complexities of biblical scholarship and the multiple plausible interpretations of ancient texts.
