Women of the Word:
When doing a search you will discover that Woman and Women togeher is mentioned in one scripture: Eze 23:44 Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women. This scripture is not speaking of a "woman/women" as we think but is speaking of places. Aholibah is speaking of Jerusalem and Aholah is speaking of Samaria. The word "woman" is mentioned 335 times and "women" is mentioned 169 times in the Word of God.
