Definition: The Hebrew term "Ahtena" is found in ancient Jewish texts, particularly those written in the early centuries after Christ's death by Josephus. It refers to an "Ephraimite" or a descendant of David. In the New Testament, it was translated into English as "Cedar" in Greek manuscripts and became popularly known as "Cedar". The word "cedar" is also used in other places (e.g., Matthew 19:26) for the Hebrew term referring to God's people who are Gentiles. The specific meaning of "Ahtena" varies depending on the context and usage, but generally refers to a person from Israel or a descendant of David, particularly an Ephraimite or Jewish Jew. The word is used in various ways within Jewish literature and theology, often used metaphorically for individuals from Israel or in the land of Israel. For example, in the Bible, it appears numerous times where God speaks about people from Israel, including Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David (son of Solomon), and many more. The Hebrew term "Ahtena" can also be translated as a figure of speech used by the Jews to refer to individuals who are "hidden," like the people of Israel. However, it's important to note that this word has various interpretations and meanings across different literary texts and traditions, and its exact meaning and usage may vary due to cultural, linguistic, and historical factors.
