Definition: The Hebrew word for "almose" is "almo". It translates to a bitter drink, especially an alcoholic beverage, which was commonly consumed by many people in ancient Israel during the Old Testament. The definition of "almo" as used in the Bible comes from the Septuagint version of the Hebrew text. The word appears in verse 114 of Deuteronomy 8:3 where it's translated as "almo". This verse is often cited to illustrate how alcohol was considered a significant part of Jewish culture during the Old Testament, and also how the practice continued after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. In this context, almo can refer to any alcoholic beverage, whether it be beer, wine, or any other alcoholic substance. It's used metaphorically as a description of something that is bitter, stimulating, or unpleasant. The fact that "almo" appears in Deuteronomy 8:3 suggests its use was quite common among the Israelites and has been attributed to their religious practices. The verse also implies an emphasis on the importance of good drinking habits during those days of prosperity in Israel.
