Definition: The word "alchemist" appears to be a term used in biblical texts, but the context of its usage is not clear. It could potentially refer to an individual who practiced or studied alchemy (alchemy being the study of the properties of substances), which was a field of knowledge and practice in ancient times. The Hebrew term for this activity was "alchimist," which translates from Greek as "chemist," meaning a person who deals with or studies materials. The concept of "alchemic" is used metaphorically, not literally, to mean something that is both mystical and powerful (as in the Bible's account of the magic potion described in Revelation 13:2). The term "alchemist" may symbolize someone who possesses a unique understanding or talent for the transformation or alteration of substances into other forms, akin to the powers within some humans. The exact definition would depend on how the term was used in the broader context of the biblical narrative and the various interpretations it underwent during the times when it first appeared. For example: - In the original Hebrew text (Isaiah 65:10), "alchemist" is translated as "mystic," which suggests a mystical or magical quality, perhaps to describe someone who works with molten metals or other substances. - In other passages like Ezekiel 37:21 and Daniel 6:4, the term "alchemist" is used to refer to someone whose spiritual life or practices are described as being spiritual, and who possesses a special power. In these cases, the idea of using one's soul's knowledge and understanding for the betterment of society is likely present. Without further context, it's difficult to say what "alchemic" means in this broader historical or literary sense.

alchemic

Definition: "Alchemic," in the KJV, translates to "Hebrew." This term originally meant "to alter or transform;" it refers to a process that involves altering materials, especially metals, into new substances. The Hebrew meaning suggests that this technique was used for the creation and alteration of chemical substances. It involved the use of chemicals such as gold, silver, and other metals combined with other elements like water, oxygen, and air to obtain desired properties or qualities, such as hardness, elasticity, or conductivity. In the KJV context, alchemical refers to a practice that involved altering materials into new substances, possibly for purposes of crafting or enhancing the appearance of the material. This is described in Genesis 23:17-19, where Adam and Eve had a conversation with God about creating man from female gametes. The term was most commonly used as an allusion to the Hebrews' connection to alchemical practices. The word "alchemic" also has other meanings within biblical texts, such as describing a person's relationship to gold or silver in Genesis 24:5.

alchemical

Definition: The English term "alchemically" appears in the original Hebrew text of the book of Job, but its use seems to be quite obscure and not widely known outside the context of this particular passage. The exact meaning and usage are uncertain. In the Septuagint version of the Old Testament, Alchemists refer to spiritual and intellectual processes that involve conversion from one world to another. This term is used to describe a technique where the mind or spirit of the seeker is manipulated, often through the manipulation of substances such as fire, water, earth, wood, and air. The word "alchemist" appears in Genesis 2:4-8 when God says that the woman who had given birth to Abel (who later became Cain) was transformed into a serpent. In the book of Job, however, it is not clear how Alchemy fits in with this text or if it has any relevance. In general, though, "alchemically" refers to spiritual transformation, often involving a transformative process such as purification from animal and spiritual influences to become spiritually pure and then ascend to God's kingdom.
