# 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

Turned away and separated, with feelings of love or loyalty gone cold. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/A/alienated/#m1)
