Definition: In the original Hebrew text of the Bible, "alleyite" appears several times without a specific meaning. It likely refers to something that was a common site or area where men slept while away from their wives during periods of marriage (such as on holidays or in the desert). However, it is unclear what this term could represent due to its context and lack of historical evidence. The term "alleyite" is often associated with the period between the time of Isaac (the patriarch) and Jacob. It is also known as "Alleyite" by some scholars as a term used for women who slept in secluded, unoccupied areas during their husbands' absence from home. The precise meaning of this term is not provided in the Bible but it is commonly thought to have been a place where a man would typically sleep while away from his wife. It could also be a name given by other men or a term used in connection with certain types of animals that were popular during these times, such as "alleyite" rats. In the context of this passage, there appears to be no specific evidence for the existence of such an entity; it may have been a local or regional custom or myth rather than something historical.
