## translationNotes

* **Their virgin breasts were squeezed and fondled there** - AT: "There men squeezed and fondled their virgin breasts" (See: [[:en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_activepassive]])
* **fondled** - to be touched lovingly or softly
* **Oholah** - This is a female name that means "her tent." (See: [[:en:ta:vol1:translate:translate_names]])
