Definition: The word "Alta" appears in several biblical references, but its exact meaning varies depending on who you ask. In the New Testament, it is mentioned as a name for an angelic entity known as the High Priest (Luke 2:30; Mark 7:15). The term "high priest," however, does not specifically refer to any specific person in Scripture. It can also mean any high-ranking figure or official. In Jewish tradition, "Alta" is a name for a special kind of angelic being known as the High Priest (Matthew 26:64-65; Mark 13:39), and it was considered to be the first high priest who came forth from the Jews in Jerusalem after Jesus' death. The High Priest was often seen with symbols or images, such as a scroll of paper with gold text. His role was to administer God's law, which included the Ten Commandments. In Jewish belief, "Alta" was considered a symbol of divine divinity. Some interpret this symbolism as a sign of the Holy Spirit being in the person of the High Priest, who represents the presence of the Godhead in Jesus. It is essential to note that these interpretations are based on interpretation rather than literal understanding of Hebrew texts. The exact meaning and historical significance of "Alta" are complex and vary widely from one tradition to another.
