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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div
