Strong's Lexicon Oholibamah: Oholibamah Original Word: אֹהֳלִיבָמָה Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֹהֶל (ohel, meaning "tent") and בָּמָה (bamah, meaning "high place" or "height"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Oholibamah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew text. Usage: Oholibamah means "tent of the high place" or "my tent is in the high place." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a woman of Edomite descent. Cultural and Historical Background: Oholibamah is a significant figure in the genealogies of Esau, the brother of Jacob. She is one of Esau's wives and is noted for her Edomite heritage. The Edomites were descendants of Esau and lived in the region south of the Dead Sea. Marriages between the descendants of Esau and the local Canaanite tribes were common, and Oholibamah's name reflects the cultural integration and religious practices of the time, as "high places" were often associated with worship and religious rites.
