Ezekiel 23:4

The name Oholah may mean "her tent," though not so pointed, and Oholibah "my tent in her." Possibly the words mean "tent" (or, tents) and "tent in her;" and the reference may be to the worship practised on the high places in both kingdoms, cf. Ezekiel 16:16. It is doubtful if the prophet means that Samaria had "her tent," i.e. a sanctuary or worship of her own devising, while Jerusalem had Jehovah's tent or true sanctuary in her. Cf. the names Hephzi-bah, Isaiah 62:4, and Oholibamah (high-place tent), Genesis 36:2. It was common in the east to give sisters or brothers names almost the same, as Hasan and Husein (little Hasan), the two sons of -Ali, the son-in-law of Muhammed.

they were mine became mine, my wives, cf. Ezekiel 16:8; Ezekiel 16:20. It is curious that Jehovah is represented as the husband of two sisters, a thing which the law disallows, Leviticus 18:18.
