Commentary for Ezekiel 16:31
בִּבְנוֹתַ֤יִךְ גַּבֵּךְ֙ בְּרֹ֣אשׁ כָּל־דֶּ֔רֶךְ וְרָמָתֵ֥ךְ עשיתי [עָשִׂ֖ית] בְּכָל־רְח֑וֹב וְלֹא־הייתי [הָיִ֥ית] כַּזּוֹנָ֖ה לְקַלֵּ֥ס אֶתְנָֽן׃
in that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thy lofty place in every street; and hast not been as a harlot that enhanceth her hire.
Rashi on Ezekiel
When you build your eminent place Heb. בִּבְנוֹתַיִךּ, like בִּבְנוֹתֵךּ, from the word for building.
