Ezekiel 23:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:2 In-Context

1 The LORD spoke his word to me. He said,

2 "Son of man, there were once two women, daughters of the same mother.

3 They became prostitutes in Egypt when they were young. There men fondled and caressed their breasts.

4 "The older girl was named Oholah, and the younger girl was named Oholibah. I married them, and they gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.

5 Oholah acted like a prostitute, although she was my wife. She lusted after her Assyrian lovers who lived nearby.
