Definition: The word "Alvarado" appears in the Old Testament (Book of Isaiah) to refer to a specific type of idol called an "alvarado." Specifically, it is a figurative term for a type of worship object that represents a god or goddess, and is associated with pagan beliefs. In Hebrew, the word for "alvarado" comes from "aalvo," which means "god's image" in Old Testament Hebrew. The phrase is often used to refer to a form of idolatry, where people worship at a statue that is essentially the god themselves. The use and meaning of "Alvarado" is difficult to fully understand without more context or historical evidence from the Bible. Its exact definition varies depending on its usage in different contexts throughout the Hebrew scriptures. However, it seems likely to have been a symbol used for religious practices that were not officially recognized under Jewish law (as seen in the Book of Isaiah) and therefore was not considered as acceptable by the biblical authorities at the time.
