Ezekiel 23:5 Context
3And they committed whordomes in Egypt, they committed whordomes in their youth: there were their brests pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginitie. 4And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, & they bare sonnes and daughters: thus were their names: Samaria is Aholah, and Ierusalem Aholibah. 5And Aholah played the harlot, when she was mine, & she doted on her louers, on the Assyrians her neighbors, 6Which were clothed with blew, captaines and rulers, all of them desireable yong men, horsemen riding vpon horses. 7Thus she committed her whordomes with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted, with all their idoles she defiled her selfe.
