Definition: In Hebrews 1:13, the term "adscitacious" refers to someone who behaves in a deceitful or cunning way; "to deceive others." This word has both positive and negative connotations depending on how it's interpreted. The literal meaning is derived from Greek ἄστειλος (astilos), which means "a deceiving," but the context suggests that this term may be used figuratively. It implies a person who manipulates others, deceitfully, to gain their favor or trust. The Hebrew word for "adscitacy" is found in Deuteronomy 17:6, where it refers to someone who intentionally uses deception. In light of the context and meaning of this term, it can be understood as a figure capable of deceiving others through manipulation. It implies that such a person has the ability to deceive or manipulate those around them to achieve personal ends. However, the word "adscitacious" is often used metaphorically in Scripture to describe someone who uses deceitful means to gain favor and power.

Definition: In the King James Version (KJV), "adscititiously" is a phrase that means to act arrogantly or imperturbably. It's often used as a rhetorical device, implying someone is arrogant without any evidence. The biblical context for this phrase is in Genesis 23:17, where the Lord tells Abraham that his son Isaac will become the father of many nations. "Adscripititiously" could also be translated as "bravely concealing oneself." This expression may imply someone's confidence in their own integrity or power, rather than being arrogant.
