Strong's Lexicon Oholibah: Oholibah Original Word: אָהֱלִיבָה Part of Speech: Proper Name Feminine Transliteration: Oholiybah Pronunciation: o-ho-LEE-bah Phonetic Spelling: (o''-hol-ee-baw') Definition: Oholibah Meaning: Oholibah Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words "אֹהֶל" (ohel, meaning "tent") and "בָּהּ" (bah, meaning "in her"), thus "my tent is in her." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Oholibah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text of the Old Testament. Usage: Oholibah is a symbolic name used in the book of Ezekiel to represent the southern kingdom of Judah. The name is part of an allegory where Oholibah and her sister Oholah (representing Samaria, the northern kingdom of Israel) are depicted as two sisters who engage in idolatry and unfaithfulness to God. The name signifies God's dwelling or presence, as "my tent is in her" suggests a divine habitation or relationship. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of Ezekiel's prophecy, Oholibah represents Judah, the southern kingdom, which included Jerusalem, the city where the temple of God was located. The allegory of Oholibah and Oholah is a vivid portrayal of the spiritual adultery and idolatry that both kingdoms engaged in, despite their covenant relationship with Yahweh. This imagery reflects the historical context of Israel and Judah's political alliances and religious syncretism with surrounding nations, which led to their eventual downfall and exile.
