Verse 4 of 49
Commentary
Commentary on Ezekiel 23:4
Theological / DevotionalAholah. Heb. ’Oholah, meaning “tent.” A slight alteration of the Hebrew gives the meaning “her tent,” which, if correct, would call attention to the fact that Samaria set up her own worship instead of permitting the people to resort to the Temple (1 Kings 12:26-33). If ’Oholah means simply “tent” there may be an allusion to tents of prostitution such as probably adorned high places.
Aholibah. Heb. ’Oholibah, being either an emphatic form of the noun meaning, as does ’Oholah, “tent,” or, with a slight change in the Hebrew, “my tent [is] in her.” The latter meaning would call attention to the fact that the sanctuary of the Lord was in Judah. On the significance of the meaning of “tent” see foregoing comments under “Aholah.”
They were mine. Both professed allegiance to the true God.
