Definition: The word "aglobulia" comes from Greek and means "abandoned house." In biblical Hebrew, it translates to a "home where God has called you." The Hebrew word for "home" in this context is "sheket," which also means "habitation" or "place of refuge." In the Old Testament, there are several times where the word "aglobulia" appears. These verses typically describe a situation where someone was abandoned by their family, often leading to a wandering life. This term can refer to a specific place, but it can also mean a general state of being separated from one's home or community. The specific details surrounding this concept vary among the various OT books and writings. In the Bible, this phrase is often used in contexts where there was no immediate return of one's family members; for example, in Proverbs 15:7 (Proverbs 23:40-41), God describes how a man was abandoned by his father-in-law when he did not return home to his mother. In this context, the word "aglobulia" suggests that something is happening or something has happened but it is unclear whether they are returning to their homes or if the situation remains isolated. It implies a sense of being in a temporary state where God does not return them back to their family.
