BrLXXΚαὶ τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν ἦν Ὀολὰ ἡ πρεσβυτέρα, καὶ Ὀολιβὰ ἡ ἀδελφὴ αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐγένοντό μοι, καὶ ἔτεκον υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν, Σαμάρεια ἦν Ὀολὰ, καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἦν Ὀολιβά.
   (Kai ta onomata autōn aʸn Oola haʸ presbutera, kai Ooliba haʸ adelfaʸ autaʸs; kai egenonto moi, kai etekon huious kai thugateras, kai ta onomata autōn, Samareia aʸn Oola, kai Hierousalaʸm aʸn Ooliba. )

BrTrAnd their names were Oola the elder, and Ooliba her sister: and they were mine, and bore sons and daughters: and as for their names, Samaria was Oola, and Jerusalem was Ooliba.

ULTTheir names were Oholah—the older sister—and Oholibah—her younger sister. Then they became mine and bore sons and daughters. Their names mean this: Oholah means Samaria, and Oholibah means Jerusalem.

USTThe older sister was Oholah, and her younger sister was Oholibah. It was as though they later became my wives. Later they gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.

BSBThe older was named Oholah,[fn] and her sister was named Oholibah.[fn] They became Mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their identities, Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.


23:4 Oholah means her own tent or she worships at a tent shrine, a metaphor for Samaria as an adulteress with Assyria.

23:4 Oholibah means the tent is in her or she is a tent shrine, a metaphor for Jerusalem as an adulterous wife.


OEBTheir names were Oholah, the elder, and Oholibah, her sister. They became mine and bore sons and daughters, and as for their names, Oholah was Samaria, and Oholibah was Jerusalem.

WEBBETheir names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.

WMBB (Same as above)

NETOholah was the name of the older and Oholibah the name of her younger sister. They became mine, and gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah is Samaria and Oholibah is Jerusalem.

LSVAnd their names [are] Aholah the older,
And Aholibah her sister,
And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As for their names—Samaria [is] Aholah,
And Jerusalem [is] Aholibah.

FBVThe older girl was called Oholah, and her sister Oholibah.[fn] I married them both and they had sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.


23:4 “Oholah” means “her tent,” and is thought to refer to the pagan shrines set up in the northern kingdom. “Oholibah” means “my tent is in her,” which would apply to the Lord's Tent of Meeting in Judah.

T4TThe older sister was Oholah, and her younger sister was Oholibah. It was as though they became my wives. Later they gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.

LEBNow as for their names, the older was Oholah, and Oholibah was her sister. And they became mine,[fn] and they bore sons and daughters, and their names[fn] are Samaria for Oholah, and Jerusalem for Oholibah.


23:4 Literally “they were for me”

23:4 Hebrew “name”

BBETheir names were Oholah, the older, and Oholibah, her sister: and they became mine, and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem, Oholibah.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

23:4 Marriage is commonly used in the Bible as a symbol for the covenant relationship between God and his people (e.g., Isa 54:1-8; Eph 5:22-33). Adultery symbolizes Israel’s spiritual unfaithfulness (e.g., Hos 1–3). God makes his covenants in spite of, not because of, his people’s character (Rom 5:6-11).
