Definition: Ancram is a Hebrew term meaning "to hide away" or "to confide in." It refers to the act of keeping something hidden, like a secret or a secret place. The word comes from the name of a book that teaches people how to avoid revealing secrets. For example, they might keep the password safe for one day before sharing it with others.
Definition: In the Bible, "Ancramdale" refers to a large tract in the land of Canaan called Hammonia. It's mentioned twice in the Genesis narrative: 2 Sam 10:4 and 6:2. The word is Hebrew and literally means "land of the hamans." This name may have been derived from an earlier name Haman, who was a prominent leader in ancient Israel, possibly leading the people of Hammonia to revolt against their king Saul (1 Sam 12:9).
