Oholibah, symbolic name for Jerusalem as an unfaithful wife in Ezekiel's allegory of the two sisters.
A prophetic proper name meaning 'my tent is in her,' used by Ezekiel to represent Jerusalem alongside her sister Oholah (Samaria). The name suggests that God's tabernacle-presence dwelt in Jerusalem, making her infidelity all the more grievous. All six occurrences cluster in Ezekiel 23, one of Scripture's most vivid allegories of covenant unfaithfulness. The name's etymology links the tent (אֹהֶל) of God's dwelling to the city that was supposed to house it faithfully.

1. Oholibah — Oholibah (אָהֳלִיבָה, 'my tent is in her'), the symbolic name for Jerusalem in Ezekiel 23. She is depicted as the younger sister of Oholah (Samaria), both portrayed as adulterous wives of Yahweh. The name implies that God placed his sanctuary-tent within Jerusalem, yet she pursued foreign alliances and idolatries even more brazenly than her sister (Ezek 23:11). All six occurrences appear in this single extended allegory (Ezek 23:4, 11, 22, 36, 44). 6×
