The Definition of the word Aholah

Aholah

She has her own tent, a name used by Ezekiel (23:4, 5, 36, 44) as a symbol of the idolatry of the kingdom of Israel. This "kingdom is described as a lewdwoman, an adulteress, given up to" the abominations and idolatries of the Egyptians and Assyrians. "Because of her crimes, she was carried away captive, and ceased" to be a kingdom. (Comp. Ps. 78:67-69; 1 Kings 12:25-33; 2 Chr. 11:13-16.)
