3and they playedH2181 the harlotH2181 in EgyptH4714. They 1playedH2181 the harlotH2181 in their youthH5271; thereH8033 their breastsH7699 were pressedH4600 and thereH8033 their virginH1331 bosomH1717 was handledH6213. 4Their namesH8034 were OholahH170 the elderH1419 and OholibahH172 her sisterH269.
