Definition: The word "Algedi" appears in the Bible several times, but its exact meaning varies depending on which version of the Old Testament it was found in. In the Hebrew Scriptures, this word is a term used to refer to a man who has died without a proper burial and has not been given an appropriate place to be buried. This man, although he may have lived long ago, was likely considered unworthy of proper burial or burial under the same conditions as others. It can also mean someone who has died with no grave in their possession. In the Old Testament, the phrase "algedi" is used for a man who had been a man of the flesh, yet his life was marked by death without a proper burial and has not been buried according to religious custom or law. This man would have fallen into idolatry, which is considered as sinful in the eyes of God. The Hebrew word "algedi" comes from the Old Hebrew word Ḥēyār ("a human") translated to mean a man who died without a proper burial and had not been buried according to religious custom or law. It was used in various biblical texts like Genesis 6:18-20, which describes an example of someone being described as a "man of the flesh" but with no burial. The specific meaning of this term varies from chapter to chapter depending on the context and author's understanding. However, it is generally associated with a man who has died without a proper burial or grave site where he would have been buried according to religious custom or law.
