However, the concept of spiritual unfaithfulness is addressed in the New Testament, such as in the metaphor of the church as the bride of Christ (e.g., Ephesians 5:25-27).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Oholah is a symbolic name used in the book of Ezekiel to represent the Northern Kingdom of Israel, also known as Samaria. The name means "her tent," signifying the independent and idolatrous worship practices that characterized the kingdom. In Ezekiel 23, Oholah is depicted as an unfaithful woman, symbolizing Israel's spiritual adultery through alliances with foreign nations and idolatry.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of ancient Israel, the division of the united monarchy into the Northern Kingdom (Israel) and the Southern Kingdom (Judah) led to distinct religious and political identities. The Northern Kingdom, with its capital in Samaria, often engaged in idolatry and political alliances contrary to the covenant with Yahweh. The use of the metaphor of an unfaithful woman in Ezekiel reflects the prophetic tradition of portraying Israel's covenant unfaithfulness as spiritual adultery.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/168.htm">ohel</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"she who has a tent," a symbolic name for Samaria<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Oholah (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אָהֳלָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, feminine</b></font> Ohola (for <font class="hebrew2">אָהֳלָהּ</font> <em>she who has a tent, tent-woman</em>, i.e. worshipper at tent-shrine, see Sm) of Samaria, adultress with Assyria <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/23-4.htm">Ezekiel 23:4</a> (twice in verse); <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/23-5.htm">Ezekiel 23:5</a>,36,44. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Aholah <p>In form a feminine of <a href="/hebrew/168.htm">'ohel</a>, but in fact for.Oholahh {o-hol-aw'}; from <a href="/hebrew/168.htm">'ohel</a>; her tent (i.e. Idolatrous sanctuary); Oholah, a symbol.
