Definition: The English word "almice" comes from Old French, which translates to "alma", meaning "eye", and "ceinte" which means "to see". This word originally referred to a type of fish found in various parts of the world that was often mistaken for an eye. In the context of the Bible, "almice" is used in the phrase "But Jesus said to them, 'Let these men be witnesses that I am not here'. They were indeed witnesses because he spoke the word with authority." This verse refers to Peter and John, who were witnesses during the Last Supper, but it also means a witness of Christ. The exact meaning of "almice" in this context varies. Some interpreters believe it to be a type of fish, while others interpret it as a specific form of blindness that some Christians experience. However, one common interpretation is that "almice" is an alternative name for the word "eye". This may have been the original meaning and not always used specifically by Jesus or the disciples when referring to something. In summary, the Old French term "almice" is a description of a type of fish found in various parts of the world. It's also often associated with blindness due to being mistaken for an eye (as explained in the verse). The exact meaning can vary depending on interpretation and usage context.
