She did not forsake her harlotries from the time in Egypt for in her youth men had lain with her, and they handled her virgin bosom and poured out their lust on her. She bestowed her harlotries on them, all of whom were the choicest men of Assyria and with all whom she lusted after, with all their idols she defiled herself. “Oholah played the harlot while she was Mine and she lusted after her lovers, after the Assyrians, her neighbors, who were clothed in purple, governors and officials, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah and Jerusalem is Oholibah. And they became Mine, and they bore sons and daughters.
Their names were Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister.
