Definition: The word "alepidote" in the King James Version (KJV) refers to the stone used in ancient Egyptian tombs as a sacred symbol. The stone was known as "Aleph" ("A" means "God"). This stone was placed near the entrance of the tomb and often depicted as a human figure, or as a depiction of an animal or other object that had been part of the deceased's life. The term alepidote is also associated with the concept of purity, a theme in ancient Egyptian religious texts. In these writings, the idea of purity was closely tied to the concept of immortality and the afterlife. The stone used for alepidotes was thought to be sacred because it symbolized the eternal life that could be granted only through faith in an all-powerful God. In Christianity, the use of the term "alepidote" is often associated with a reference to the Holy Grail or other spiritual symbols found in ancient texts. The Christian concept of purity and divine inspiration was seen as closely linked to the idea of alchemical knowledge, where pure substances like gold or silver could be used for magical purposes. The term alepidote is also referenced in the book of Job 26:14-15, which describes a group of people who were so proud of their wealth that they did not care about what would happen to them when they died. The speaker in this passage describes how the Aleph stone was seen as a symbol of purity and divine inspiration in the lives of these individuals. Overall, the alepidote is a sacred object associated with the concept of purity and divine inspiration in ancient Egyptian culture.
