Definition: In the Bible, "admittance" is a term used to describe the act of receiving or obtaining something through one's own effort, determination, or through a form of submission. The original meaning of this term comes from the Greek word 'Admonition', which means "commanding," as in commanding someone to do something. In Old Testament times, people would often receive God's commands and promises by way of "admittance" to obey them. In more recent usage, it has been expanded to mean the act of giving someone permission or granting access to another person or entity, usually through a written document or signed agreement. This is similar in meaning to the English term "grant." The word's broader definition can be broken down into several aspects: - Acceptance: A willingness to give up something or someone for an advantage. - Authorization: Permission given by someone or something for another person to do something without their own consent, either orally or in writing. For example, when a child receives permission from their parents to go out with friends on a Saturday night, they are admitting the child's agreement and acceptance of this privilege.

Definition: "Admittances" in the Hebrew Bible (KJV) means "acceptance." This term originally referred to those who accepted sacrifices as a sign of their relationship with God, similar to how Moses was considered an acceptance of Aaron's role as priest after he stood before the Lord on Mount Sinai. The specific details about these "admittances" vary greatly between various Hebrew scriptures and texts. Some versions interpret it more literally as someone accepting or participating in the sacrifices as part of a religious ceremony. Others may use figuratively, interpreting it as someone who is accepted to the tabernacle for their participation or service as an Israelite. The word "admittances" plays a pivotal role in various Jewish customs and practices throughout history. It suggests that people were not only acceptable as part of God's covenant with Moses but also as participants in his role as priest and, later, king over the Israelites.
