Definition: The term "Alcmaon" refers to an ancient Egyptian deity associated with the pharaoh Osiris, who was said to be killed by the god Sekhmet, according to the Book of Genesis. In the Hebrew Bible (KJV), there are several references to Alcmaon. The most common example is found in the passage from Deuteronomy 32:19-20 where it's referred to as "the god of the sons of Menahem." This figure was said to have been a powerful and protective deity, and his temple was named after him. The biblical context gives additional details about Alcmaon. The Hebrew Bible describes him as "a god of all peoples" and "the lord of the hosts," which implies that he was a great leader who had power over many nations. According to Genesis 4:9, Alcmaon was "one of the children of Menahem." Additionally, Deuteronomy 32:21 states that Alcmaon ruled Egypt and was present at the burning of the Ten Commandments. However, it's important to note that these passages from the Hebrew Bible are not direct references to the biblical figure. The specific details provided in the text do not align with the portrayal in the Hebrew Bible itself. The exact identity of Alcmaon as a deity is often misunderstood, especially if we compare the accounts in different manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible.
