Ezekiel 23 · Grade 4

They Defiled My Sanctuary

Name Date

Read and Think

God gave Ezekiel a picture-story about two sisters. They were the daughters of one mother. Oholah, the elder, stood for Samaria. Oholibah stood for Jerusalem. Both belonged to God. The story shows how they broke faith with him.

Each sister ran after the strong nations instead of God. Samaria leaned on Assyria and took up its idols, and in the end Assyria conquered her. Jerusalem watched her sister fall but did not learn. She looked to Assyria, then Babylon, then Egypt. She trusted their strength and their gods.

God summed up Jerusalem's sin: she had forgotten him and cast him behind her back. The sisters had defiled his sanctuary and profaned his Sabbaths. Because Jerusalem walked in the way of her sister, God would give her sister's cup into her hand, a cup of sorrow and desolation.

Ezekiel 23 · Grade 5

Her Sister's Cup

Name Date

Read and Think

Ezekiel 23 is a parallel to chapter 16, an allegory God gave Ezekiel about two sisters, the daughters of one mother. Oholah stood for Samaria. Oholibah stood for Jerusalem, where God's temple stood. Her name is often explained as pointing to God's tent in her. Both belonged to God and were meant to be faithful to him alone. The chapter describes their unfaithfulness in strong adult language; its point is that they gave the loyalty they owed God to the nations and their gods.

The story traces Israel's foreign policy as spiritual unfaithfulness. Samaria trusted Assyria's governors and horsemen and took up their idols, until Assyria destroyed her. Jerusalem, who should have learned, was worse than her sister. She courted Assyria, then Babylon, and then turned back to Egypt, the very land from which God had rescued Israel. Each alliance brought its gods into God's house.

God's verdict is clear. Because Jerusalem had forgotten God and cast him behind her back, she would bear the consequences. They have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths. Because Jerusalem walked in the way of her sister, God would give her sister's cup into her hand, the cup of astonishment and desolation. The chapter warns that privilege, even having God's temple, does not protect people who forsake him. In the New Testament, 1 Corinthians 10:12 says: Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn't fall.
