Definition: The word "almehs" appears in the Hebrew Bible to be a term used for two different things: 1. In Genesis, it refers to a male that is older than his wife, which signifies an age difference between them. 2. In Leviticus 20:36, it describes a male who was not old enough to marry or father children. This implies that he did not meet the legal requirement for marriage. The detailed definition of "almehs" in both the Hebrew and the Aramaic scriptures is: 1. Male older than his wife (in Genesis): - In Genesis 27:30, it refers to a male who was old enough to marry but younger than his wife. - In Leviticus 20:36, it implies that he did not meet the legal requirement for marriage. 2. Male who has no son: - In Genesis 25:19, this means a man who is old and does not have any children. - In Leviticus 20:36, it is used to describe men who had no sons but were older than their wives (age difference). The concept of "almehs" can be seen as a metaphor for an individual's age or status that is beyond what one might consider normal in his own culture and society.
