Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women.
But they kept going to her like men who visit prostitutes, that's exactly how they went to Aholah and Aholibah, these immoral women.
They kept choosing what they knew was wrong, over and over again.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Ezekiel, written during the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC, the prophet uses vivid allegorical stories to condemn the spiritual unfaithfulness of Israel and Judah. Aholah symbolizes the northern kingdom of Israel, and Aholibah represents the southern kingdom of Judah, both depicted as engaging in idolatry and immoral alliances with foreign nations. This verse portrays their actions as prostitution to illustrate their betrayal of God's covenant, serving as a warning to the exiled people about the consequences of such behavior.
