Ezekiel 23:4 — Meaning and Application

Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:

And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.

And the names of them {were} Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus {were} their names; Samaria {is} Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah. {Aholah: that is, His tent, or, tabernacle} {Aholibah: that is, My tabernacle in her}

And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians {her} neighbours,

{Which were} clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
