Definition: The term "alethiological" comes from the Greek "alēthos," which means to multiply, to increase, or to multiply by a number (1+2=3), and "logos," meaning word. This phrase comes from the Hebrew Bible (Numbers) where it refers to God's actions in relation to Israelites and their spiritual growth through the Old Testament (Deuteronomy, Leviticus). In the Hebrew Bible, this term is used figuratively and metaphorically, as a way of describing the way God multiplies his people, the Israelites. This phrase can also be seen in other Jewish scriptures such as Esther 1:4. Here are some examples from different parts of the Bible: - In Deuteronomy Chapter 31:5 "The Lord did multiply them exceedingly with their multitude, to increase the number of you, and that your seed may have a long life." - In Genesis Chapter 29:10 "And I will increase thy seed forever." - In Exodus 4:17 "Then said the Lord unto Moses, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly with their multitude, to increase the number of thee, and that thy seed shall be as a pillar of rock." - In Leviticus Chapter 9:28 "And thou shalt speak to all Israel, saying, 'Let not the nations multiply against us; for they are more numerous than we." The Hebrew Bible also has many instances where it uses this phrase in figurative and metaphorical ways. For example: - Deuteronomy Chapter 31:5 says, "The Lord did multiply them exceedingly with their multitude, to increase the number of thee, and that thy seed may have a long life." - In Exodus 4:17, God tells Moses to speak to all Israel, saying, "Let not the nations multiply against us; for they are more numerous than we." Therefore, "alethiological" is a figurative term used in the Hebrew Bible to describe God's actions in relation to Israelites.
