Definition: The word "Alakanuk" in the KJV (KJV) Bible refers to a character who is not as noble, but more humble, and therefore less noble than those who are more noble. Specifically, it describes an individual who appears more humble or unpretentious when they meet with others. However, their true nature or intentions remain hidden from view due to this portrayal of humility. In the original Greek, "Alakanuk" is translated as "alakonikos," which means someone who pretends not to be noble or worthy. This character appears in stories and passages where we are expected to recognize an individual's true nobility and integrity; however, they are more humble than others or less noble than those who are more noble. The meaning of this term varies depending on the context within a specific literary work or period. For example: - In the Gospel of Matthew 27:39, Jesus is described as "Alakanuk" (Greek: alakonikos), which means someone who pretends not to be noble or worthy. - In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh, also known as Alakanuk, is shown being disrespectful and rude by his companions. These examples illustrate how this concept is often depicted in literature and narratives.
