Footnotes
The anatomical language here — *basar* (בְּשַׂר, 'flesh/member') and *zerem* (זֶרֶם, 'discharge/emission') — is deliberately unsparing. Ezekiel refuses to soften what Judah called 'alliance' or 'diplomacy' into anything other than raw carnal appetite. The donkey and horse also evoke Egypt's vaunted military power (cf. Deut. 17:16; Isa. 31:1–3), which Ezekiel desacralises utterly — reducing Judah's political trust in Egypt's armies to animal lust. FOG uses 'members' and 'discharge' for close correspondence to the Hebrew's blunt physicality; FOG Message renders 'genitals' and 'seed' as slightly more clinical alternatives, though both translations retain the full force the original demands.
