(Hebrew Oholibah', אָהַלַיבָה, for בָהּ אָהַלַי , my tent is in her; Sept. Ο᾿ολιβά v. r. Ο᾿λιβά; Vulg. Ooliba), a symbolical name given to Jerusalem (Ezekiel 23:4; Ezekiel 23:11; Ezekiel 23:22; Ezekiel 23:36; Ezekiel 23:44) under the figure of an adulterous harlot, as having once contained the true worship of Jehovah, but having prostituted herself to foreign idolatries (Havernik, Comment. in loc.). (See AHOLAH).
