Old Testament
Oholibah
A symbolic name used by Ezekiel to represent the kingdom of Judah and its spiritual infidelity.
Oholibah is a personification of Jerusalem and the kingdom of Judah in Ezekiel's allegory of two sisters. The name signifies that the Lord's tent was in her, yet she abandoned covenant faithfulness for political and religious alliances with pagan nations. Her story serves as a prophetic indictment of Judah's idolatry and a warning of the coming judgment.
