Definition: The word "Amberg" comes from Germanic roots, meaning "large body," as in a large or sturdy body. It's often used metaphorically to represent someone who is strong, capable, or able to handle big tasks. In the context of the Bible, Amberg could be seen as an image of someone who can handle a great deal, particularly when it comes to overcoming difficulties or handling significant responsibilities. The term was commonly used in Jewish religious texts for the righteous (Israelites) and people who are strong and capable, symbolizing their faithfulness, wisdom, and ability. The Hebrew word "Amberg" is also related to the Greek word "ambrus," which means "large body." It's not necessarily a direct reference but can be seen as an association or metaphorical depiction of someone's size or weight, much like Amberg being strong or physically large.

Definition: The word "ambergrease" appears in the Bible as a reference to oil used for cooking, specifically for baking or frying foods. The exact meaning of this term has been debated among biblical scholars but generally it was thought to be a culinary oil that had various uses. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew words used here are often translated as "ambar" (oil) and "gerase" (oil). When referring to this oil, it is common in Jewish and Christian texts for its use in baking and frying. This oil was used to add flavor or fragrance to baked goods before they were cooked. The exact origin of ambergrease remains a subject of debate among scholars. Some believe that this word originated from the Greek term "ambar," meaning olive oil, while others place it somewhere else. The significance of this oil is uncertain but its role in cooking and baking has been historically significant in Jewish and Christian tradition. The Bible does not mention specifically ambergrease, nor does it reference any specific ingredient used for cooking oil. However, the word "ambergrease" is used to describe a special type of oil or fat that was commonly used in Jewish and Christian kitchens before it became more widely known as an essential part of various culinary techniques.

Definition: The Hebrew name 'Ambergris' translates to "pearl" in English, which is a figurative expression for a particular type of gemstone or precious metal found on certain marine creatures, such as amberfish, that are said to give out pearl-like qualities when their shells are opened. In the Bible, Amorites were said to be born with an innate ability to see and hear the voice of God in other cultures, which they interpreted as a sign of God's favor or blessing for their people. The phrase "Ambergris" in Hebrew is translated into Greek as "Mammonus" (a word from the Greek for 'pearl') and means something that is acquired through commerce. In the Old Testament, this gem was described to be precious and precious stones were a symbol of divine favor or blessing. The Israelites' reliance on this stone became known as Amorite gold, which they used in religious ceremonies and festivals. In the New Testament, the word is often associated with Jesus, as He was born in Bethlehem of Judah, where there are numerous legends about the rich man who gave his wealth to the poor. The term "Mammon" was also a key element in the story of Lot's wife Haroonah, which described her inability to control her lust for a husband.

Definition: The term "ambergrises" appears in various biblical contexts, which suggests it might be a reference to a mythical or supernatural entity described in the Hebrew Bible. It's not clear exactly what the specific verse or passage from the Hebrew Bible refers to, as there is no direct evidence for this specific term. However, if we consider that the "ambergrises" were portrayed as flying creatures and they appear often in the biblical stories of Egypt, it can be interpreted as a mythical creature or spirit. The word 'ambergrises' has a very specific Hebrew meaning in relation to "amber." In ancient literature, amber is a magical substance used for casting spells, potions, and talismans. The Hebrew language uses the term "amber" to describe a magical substance that can be cast. This usage suggests an association with magic or enchantment, which could potentially be seen as a metaphor for mystical or supernatural entities. In ancient literature and storytelling, 'ambergrises' might have been used by Egyptians to imbue objects with magical properties, like amulets or talismans, or perhaps to summon magical beings. However, the exact meaning of this term is not explicitly stated in the Hebrew Bible but has a significant symbolic significance within the broader context of Egypt's religion and mythology. The passage you mentioned might be a reference to a type of spirit or demon that could be associated with magic and enchantment. The Hebrew text does not explicitly state any specific meaning for "ambergrises," as this term is generally associated with magical properties in ancient Egyptian texts, but the metaphorical use of 'amber' (and hence 'ambergrises') suggests some form of magical or enchanted entity. Therefore, while there may be a bit of ambiguity, the Hebrew term "ambergrises" does seem to have spiritual and symbolic significance within the Hebrew Bible context.
