Son of man, there were two women<\/B><\/I>] All the Hebrews were derived from one source<\/I>, Abraham and Sarah; and, till the schism under Rehoboam, formed but one people: but as these ten tribes and a half separated from Judah and Benjamin, they became two distinct people under different kings; called the kingdom of Judah, and the kingdom of Israel. They are called here, because of their consanguinity, two sisters<\/I>. The elder, Samaria, (for there was the seat of government<\/I> for the kingdom of Israel,) was called aholah<\/I>, “a tent.” The younger, Judah, was called aholibah<\/I>, “my tent is in her,” because the temple of God was in Jerusalem, the seat of the government of the kingdom of Judah.<\/P> <\/p>\n Two women; <\/B>Judah and Israel, the two kingdoms. <\/P> Daughters of one mother; <\/B>sprung from Sarah; or, as some, daughters of the synagogue. They rose from one family; these two were daughters, that is parts, and the mother is the whole posterity of the twelve tribes. <\/P> <\/p>\n 2. two . . . of one mother<\/B>Israeland Judah, one nation by birth from the same ancestress, Sarah.<\/P><\/p>\n Son of man, there were two women<\/strong>,…. Or two nations and kingdoms, the kingdom of Israel or the ten tribes, and the kingdom of Judah or the two tribes. So the Targum,<\/p>\n “son of man, prophesy concerning two provinces, which are as two women:”<\/p>\n the daughters of one mother<\/strong>; either Sarah the wife of Abraham, from whom they sprung; or because they were originally one kingdom and nation; so they were when they came out of Egypt, and during the times of the judges, and in the reigns of David and Solomon; but became two in the days of Rehoboam the son of Solomon, from whom ten tribes revolted, and set up a separate kingdom, with Jeroboam at the head of it.<\/p>\n Eze 23:2<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>There were two women, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> The Hebrews, derived from one source, born of Abraham and Sarah, made but one people, and continued united till the separation under Jeroboam. Then the ten tribes being separated from Judah and Benjamin, they formed as it were two people, governed by different kings. Aholah, <\/em>the eldest of the two sisters, denotes the kingdom of Samaria, or the ten tribes; the word ahalah, <\/em>signifies her tent <\/em>or tabernacle: <\/em>she is styled the elder, either on account of the greater number of tribes whereof this kingdom was composed, or because she was the first who forsook the Lord, and gave herself up to idolatry. Aholibah, <\/em>signifies my tent is in her; <\/em>because of the Lord’s temple in Jerusalem. This chapter is of the same design with the xvith, and should be compared with it. If a modern reader shall call the terms in it too coarse and indelicate, we can only refer to the time in which the author lived, and to the manners of his country, where perhaps descriptions of this kind did not carry those secondary ideas which they do with us; and it should be remembered that the prophet’s intention is to raise the highest detestation possible of idolatry. <\/p>\n Eze 23:2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:<\/p>\n Ver. 2. There were two women.<\/strong> ] This is the same in effect with Eze 16:1-63<\/span> , but there more plainly, here parabolically expressed. Sermo est eraditus et elegans, simul tamen spurcas et obscaenus,<\/em> a<\/em> to set forth the hatefulness of idolatry, creature confidence, and adultery. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The daughters of one mother,<\/strong> ] scil., <\/em> Synagogae, vel Sarce.<\/em> Some think the prophet alludeth to Jacob’s two wives who were sisters. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Lavat.<\/p>\n Son of man. See note on Eze 2:1. <\/p>\n two women. Two sisters, representing respectively Samaria and Jerusalem. <\/p>\n two: Eze 16:44, Eze 16:46, Jer 3:7-10 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 2Ki 17:7 – sinned Isa 57:8 – thou lovedst Isa 59:12 – our transgressions Jer 7:25 – the day Jer 11:15 – seeing Jer 13:27 – thine adulteries Hos 12:14 – provoked<\/p>\n Eze 23:2-3. There were two women, daughters of one mother Judah and Israel, two kingdoms. Countries are commonly represented as mothers of their people, and the inhabitants as their children: so the daughters of Syria signify the inhabitants of that country, Eze 16:57. Thus Samaria and Jerusalem are described in this chapter as sisters, the offspring of the same land, or country. And they committed whoredoms in Egypt The Israelites first learned idolatry in Egypt, for Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were wholly free from it. They committed whoredoms in their youth The time when the Israelites were in Egypt, or were lately departed out of it, is called their youth in the prophets, because that was the time when God first owned them for his people. There were their breasts pressed There they served idols, and there they corrupted their ways, as the Chaldee paraphrase expresses the sense. The reader must observe, The style of this chapter, like that of chap. 16., is adapted to persons among whom, at that time, no refinement subsisted. Large allowance must be made for language addressed to an ancient eastern people, in the worst period of their history; all whose ideas were sensual; and whose grand inducement to idolatry seems to have been the brutal impurities which it encouraged. Bishop Newcome. The Scripture commonly calls idolatrous churches and nations by the name of harlots: and in like manner honours those, who preserve their allegiance to God pure and undefiled, with the title of chaste wives, or virgins. <\/p>\n 23:2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one {a} mother:<\/p>\n (a) Meaning, Israel and Judah who both came out of one family.<\/p>\n Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother: 2.
