Thine elder sister, i.e. the greater for power, riches, and numbers of people, not the elder for years. Samaria; metropolis, or mother city, of the revolted and idolatrous ten tribes. Her daughters; lesser cities of the kingdom of Israel, or the people who dwelt in them. At thy left hand; northward, as you look toward the east. Thy younger sister; or lesser, so the Hebrew; which consists of fewer people, is of less power. At thy right hand; southward from Jerusalem. Sodom, as chief city. Her daughters; either the cities near in place, and joined in affinity, idolatry, and other sins like Sodom, or the inhabitants of those cities.
