(Occurrence 0) Your beginning and your birth
(Some words not found in UHB: and,say thus he/it_had_said my=master GOD to,Jerusalem origin_of,your and,birth_of,your in,land_of the,Canaanites father_of,your the=ʼAmorī and,mother_of,your Ḩittiy )
These two phrases share similar meanings. Yahweh speaks of when people founded the city as if it were the city’s birth. (See also: figs-metaphor)

The Amorites and Hittites were both pagan people groups who lived in the land before the people of Israel conquered it. Yahweh speaks of Jerusalem’s father and mother belonging to these people groups to express that she was born into idolatry.
16:1-63 Jerusalem is exposed as a wanton prostitute. Even in the relatively mild form of the English translation, ch 16 is hard to read, and it was at least as shocking in the ancient context. Ezekiel was graphically communicating the full ugliness and offensiveness of Judah’s sin. He refused to be polite when discussing his people’s depravity. In fact, his refusal to tone down the offensiveness of Jerusalem’s sin is precisely the point of the passage. The offensive nature of the portrayal was critical to its effectiveness because Ezekiel’s hearers could understand that God’s awful judgment upon them was justified only if they first understood the magnitude of their sin in his sight. A less graphic presentation would not have adequately communicated this message.
