Ezekiel 23:4

Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible

And the names of them were Oholah (note: That is, Her tent.) the elder, and Oholibah (note: That is, My tent is in her.) her sister; and they became Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
The older was named Oholah (note: Oholah means her own tent or she worships at a tent shrine, a metaphor for Samaria as an adulteress with Assyria.), and her sister was named Oholibah. They became Mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their identities, Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
