Aholah and [[Aholibah]] are represented as two sisters of [[Egyptian]] extraction. Aholah stands for Samaria, and Aholibah for Jerusalem. The first signifies a <em> tent, </em> and the second, <em> my tent is in her. </em> They both prostituted themselves to the [[Egyptians]] and Assyrians, in imitating their abominations and idolatries; for which reason the [[Lord]] abandoned them to those very people for whose evil practices they had shown so passionate an affection. They were carried into captivity, and reduced to the severest servitude. </p> | ||
