Definition: The word "alderfly" appears in the Bible multiple times, but without a clear reference point or full context, I'm unable to provide more precise details. However, the term "alderfly" could refer to a variety of things depending on its historical origin and the specific language it appears in. 1.

Alderfly:

In Greek mythology, "alderfly" is often associated with the owl or owl-like bird. It is believed to represent the divine owl who protects the earth and the inhabitants within it. The term can also be used metaphorically in relation to the earthly realm of the spiritual world. 2.

Piercing Alderfly:

In Christianity, "piercing alderfly" refers to an act that seeks or attempts to poison someone or something else (e.g., a person). It's often associated with symbols such as a spearhead piercing the body or soul, as in the Bible passage where Jesus is pierced by an ax. 3.

Hunting Alderfly:

This term describes hunting animals for their fur or meat. The animal itself may be described as "alderfly" if it appears to resemble a spider (like a harpy) or a bird that flies swiftly (like an alder). In many cultures, such as those in the Bible, this could indicate a man or woman seeking revenge against others. 4.

Worm Alderfly:

This term may be related to a type of worm that can harm humans if eaten, especially when it's not properly cooked or prepared. The word itself can also refer to a large, round animal (like a worm) in some cultures. If you could provide more context or details about the specific reference point, I would be happy to assist with more precise information on this term.
