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.
