1. And the word of יהוה came to me, saying,
2. “Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother.
3. “And they whored in Mitsrayim, they whored in their youth. There their breasts were handled, and there their maiden nipples were squeezed.
4. “And their names were: Oholah the elder and Oholiḇah her sister. And they were Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. And their names: Shomeron is Oholah, and Yerushalayim is Oholiḇah.
5. “And Oholah whored while she was Mine. And she lusted for her lovers, the neighbouring Ashshurians,
6. dressed in purple, officers and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
7. “So she gave her whorings on them, all of them choice sons of Ashshur. And with all for whom she lusted, with all their idols, she defiled herself.
8. “And she did not forsake her whorings from Mitsrayim, for in her youth they had lain with her, and they squeezed her maiden nipples, and poured out their whorings on her.
9. “Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Ashshurians, for whom she lusted.
