Usage: Oholibah is a symbolic name used in the book of Ezekiel to represent the southern kingdom of Judah. It is part of an allegory involving two sisters, Oholah and Oholibah, who symbolize the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, respectively. Context: Oholibah is introduced in the book of Ezekiel as part of a prophetic allegory found in Ezekiel 23. In this allegory, Oholibah represents the kingdom of Judah, while her sister Oholah represents the kingdom of Israel. The narrative describes the spiritual infidelity of both kingdoms, likening them to two sisters who engage in harlotry. Oholibah, meaning "My tent is in her," signifies the presence of the Lord's temple in Jerusalem, the capital of Judah. Despite this divine presence, Oholibah is depicted as being unfaithful, pursuing alliances and idolatry with foreign nations, which leads to her downfall. The allegory serves as a warning and a call to repentance, highlighting the consequences of turning away from God. The story of Oholibah is a vivid illustration of the themes of judgment and redemption that are central to the prophetic literature of the Old Testament.
