Because the God speaks of them as if they were horses that wanted to mate with other horses. AT: "They were like horses in heat ... neighed to his neighbor's wife" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

ready to mate

# mate

when animals breed to reproduce

# Each man neighed to his neighbor's wife

Male horses neigh loudly to female horses when they want to mate with them. AT: "Like horses who mate with more than one horse, these men wanted to sleep with other men's wives" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
