alienated

adjective

«alienated» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

In Jewish tradition

God's "soul" being alienated means He pulls away in disgust from Jerusalem and from unfaithful Oholah and Oholibah, who stand for Samaria and Jerusalem. It is a warning that He may leave a people who leave Him.

Interpretation. The prophets use this picture of a broken marriage to show that God's love is real and that Israel's faithlessness really hurts the relationship. The warning is meant to make the people return.

Meaning
