Unchecked Copy BoxEze 23:2 - Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 23:3 - And they committed lewd deeds in Egypt; they committed lewd deeds in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they were first corrupted.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 23:4 - And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bore sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 23:12 - She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbors, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 23:13 - Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 23:15 - Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 23:16 - And as soon as she saw them with her eyes she doted upon them, and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
