“Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:”
The allegory identifies the sisters as Oholah and Oholibah, representing the two kingdoms with symbolic names referencing their idolatrous sanctuaries. Oholah (likely Samaria/Israel) falls first; Oholibah (Jerusalem/Judah) follows the same pattern of apostasy. The naming establishes the theological continuity between the kingdoms' religious practices.
