Ezekiel 23:5
"Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah."
Key Reflection
In Ezekiel 23:5-3, the prophet uses the names of two sisters—Oholah (Samaria) and Oholibah (Jerusalem)—to symbolize Israel's spiritual journey, highlighting how both kingdoms turned away from God, bearing children who represented their moral and religious offspring. This metaphor underscores the dual nature of Israel’s history and its eventual consequences under divine judgment.
