Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 23:1-49

(b) Judah and Israel’s Ripeness for Judgment (Ezekiel 23:0.)1And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, 2Son of man, there were 3two women, the daughters of one mother; And in Egypt they played the wanton; in their youth they wantoned, there were their breasts pressed, and 4there were the teats of their virginity bruised. And their names were “Oholah,” the great [greater], and “Oholibah” her sister; and they were mine, and bare sons and daughters; and their names were Samaria—Oholah, 5and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 23:1-49

The next prophecy dealt with the sins of Samaria and Jerusalem under the figures of two women, Oholah and Oholibah. The prophet first described their sins. Samaria was charged with unfaithfulness in her confederacy with the Assyrians in that she allowed herself to be seduced by their wealth and their strength, from her loyalty to Jehovah. He also reminded her of her former confederacy with Judah. In consequence of this double sin she was handed over to the Assyrians who overcame and oppressed... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 23:38-39

“Moreover they have done this to me. They have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths. For when they had slain their children to their idols, they then came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it. And lo, thus have they done in the midst of my house.” Guilt piled on guilt. Not only had they offered their children to Molech, they had done it on the sabbath and had then gone to God’s sanctuary as though they had done nothing wrong, indeed no doubt feeling how... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 23:1-49

Ezekiel 23. Fatal Alliance with Foreigners.— This is the third and last of the three great indictments ( Ezekiel 16, 20 ) which draw their material from the past rather than (as Ezekiel 22 ) from the present. Its underlying imagery is the same as that of ch. 16, but it differs from that chapter in dealing with the northern and southern kingdoms separately ( cf. Ezekiel 16:46) and in emphasizing political rather than religious entanglements, though of course foreign alliances did as a matter... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 23:38

This; which is declared in the following words, it was some great injury or affront done to God. Defiled my sanctuary; my holy things, house, altar, sacrifices, and oblations; one part of the temple put for all parts of the holy things of God. In the same day; when they had newly polluted themselves with most horrid crimes, idolatry and murder, they thrust into the temple; whereas by the law, if they had been but unclean by touch of a dead body, they must have been cleansed by sacrifices before... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 23:36-49

(Ezekiel 23:36-49)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Judah and Samaria are considered as joined together in their sin and punishment.Ezekiel 23:37. “They have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands.” “The actual subject matter of these verses is closely connected with Ezekiel 23:16, more especially in the designation of the sins as adultery and bloodshed (compare Ezekiel 23:37 and Ezekiel 23:45 with Ezekiel 16:38). They committed adultery with the idols, thus placing the idols on a par with Jehovah as... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 23:1-49

Chapter 23Now in chapter 23:The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying, Son of man there were two women, who were the daughters of one mother: Now they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed ( Ezekiel 23:1-3 ),And he goes on to speak of these two daughters. The one's name is Aholah; she is the older one. And her younger sister is Aholibah. Now Aholah means her tent. Aholibah means her tent is in her. And in the interpreting... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 23:1-49

Ezekiel 23:2 . There were two women, the daughters of one mother. Samaria and Jerusalem, cities introduced in the female character, as in Ezekiel 23:10; Ezekiel 23:48. Ezekiel 23:4 . Samaria is Aholah, or her tent, because they worshipped local divinities, and assembled under the shadow of trees and tents. Samaria is first mentioned under this comparison, because the kingdom of the ten tribes was the first to go astray, soon after the time of Solomon. She also doted on the invading... read more

Joseph Exell

The Biblical Illustrator - Ezekiel 23:1-49

Ezekiel 23:1-49Samaria is Aholah and Jerusalem Aholibah.Aholah and AholibahI. Sin is self-polluting and therefore self-destroying. Constant contact with sin will pollute the conscience, and render it powerless to fulfil the end for which it has been implanted in the man. It will destroy the understanding in the sense that it renders it unable to see and know the things of God (Ephesians 4:18-19). Sin persisted in defiles the will, and makes it like a palsied limb which has no power to perform... read more
