Yehezkiel 16:46

16:46 Your older sister was Samaria, who lived north ¹  of you with her daughters, and your younger sister, who lived south ²  of you, was Sodom ³  with her daughters.

Yehezkiel 23:2-4

23:2 “Son of man, there were two women who were daughters of the same mother. 23:3 They engaged in prostitution in Egypt; in their youth they engaged in prostitution. Their breasts were squeezed there; lovers ⁴  fondled their virgin nipples there. 23:4 Oholah was the name of the older and Oholibah ⁵  the name of her younger sister. They became mine, and gave birth to sons and daughters. ⁶  Oholah is Samaria and Oholibah is Jerusalem.

[16:46]  ¹ tn Heb “left.”

[16:46]  ² tn Heb “right.”

[16:46]  ³ sn Sodom was the epitome of evil (Deut 29:23; 32:32; Isa 1:9-10; 3:9; Jer 23:14; Lam 4:6; Matt 10:15; 11:23-24; Jude 7).

[23:3]  ⁴ tn In the Hebrew text the subject is left unstated and must be supplied from the context.

[23:4]  ⁵ tn The names Oholah and Oholibah are both derived from the word meaning “tent.” The meaning of Oholah is “her tent,” while Oholibah means “my tent is in her.”

[23:4]  ⁶ sn In this allegory the Lord is depicted as being the husband of two wives. The OT law prohibited a man from marrying sisters (Lev 18:18), but the practice is attested in the OT (cf. Jacob). The metaphor is utilized here for illustrative purposes and does not mean that the Lord condoned such a practice or bigamy in general.
