    Description

    Who was Oholibah?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Oholibah is a symbolic name used by the prophet Ezekiel to represent Jerusalem, the capital of the southern kingdom of Judah (Ezk.23.4). In Ezekiel's allegorical prophecy, Oholibah and her sister Oholah (representing Samaria) are portrayed as promiscuous women who engaged in idolatry and sought alliances with foreign nations (Ezk.23.11-44). The name Oholibah likely means "my tent is in her," possibly referring to the presence of the temple and God's dwelling place in Jerusalem. Through this allegory, Ezekiel condemns the unfaithfulness of Judah, highlighting their spiritual adultery and the consequences they would face as a result of their actions, including judgment and destruction by the hands of their former lovers (Ezk.23.22-35).

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
