Definition: The word "Allodelphite" in the Greek text of Hebrews 11:32 refers to a specific type of worship, which was an innovation among Jewish believers in Christ, and is not found elsewhere in the Bible. It describes a type of spiritual practice that involved a communal service dedicated to God's name and His glory. The term "Allodelphite" is typically understood as being associated with some kind of religious assembly or community of Jews who had developed their own set of beliefs about the nature, character, and function of God’s presence in human affairs. This might include practices like fasting, prayer meetings, or communal worship services. In Hebrews 11:32-35, the author uses this term to describe the type of religious gatherings that were happening among the Jews at that time. The passage then continues with a summary of some common practices and beliefs among these communities, including the use of sacrificial offerings and the celebration of festivals.
