Definition: The word "allochlorophyll" does not appear in the Hebrew Bible, although it has been mentioned elsewhere in the Old Testament literature. The term "allochlorophyll" was used by Jesus Christ Himself when he spoke about plants that produce chlorophyll (photosynthesis). In Matthew 19:24-25, He said, "And of all that were with me, none did anything more remarkable than this." The definition of "allochlorophyll," as mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, is a term referring to an herb or plant that produces chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in the leaves of many plants, primarily in aquatic plants like cichlids and some grasses. In the context of the Gospels (Matthew 19:24-25), Jesus mentioned this herb as he was preaching at his disciples' feet; He said, "And I told you these things." This seems to be a reference to a type of plant that is known for its chlorophyll. The phrase used by Jesus in Matthew's Gospel also suggests that plants like cichlids and grasses are among those that produce this pigment. However, as with many other verses in the Old Testament literature, it is important to note that these references in the Hebrew Bible were likely intended to be a reference to specific examples from nature rather than to define a plant or its characteristics.
