Definition: The Hebrew term "almakere" (also spelled "almair") is used in many Christian and Jewish contexts to refer to someone who has committed adultery with another person, often against their will or consent. This concept can be seen as a rejection or refusal by one's own conscience towards what was done or not done. The word derives from the Greek phrase Ἀμαλκερία (almakire), which itself is derived from the Greek λόγος (logos) and ζωή (witness). The meaning of "almakere" in this context can be understood as an action that involves a violation or rejection of moral principles and values. In Jewish teachings, adultery is considered to be a grave sin because it violates the Torah's commandment against sexual immorality. It's also a violation of the covenant between God and Israel, as it would constitute breaking the law of marriage as described in Exodus 20:14-16. The idea that anyone can commit adultery with another person without any moral or spiritual consequences is one of the most important teachings of Christianity, especially those who adhere to the teachings of Jesus Christ. This concept is often referred to as a "sin without sin." In Jewish law and theology, this type of act would be considered a violation of God's plan for marriage and can lead to severe legal penalties such as imprisonment or death. It's worth noting that the Hebrew word "almakere" is not found in the New Testament but it does appear in the New Testament (1 John 5:20-22) and is used in a more figurative sense, referring to acts of deceit rather than just adultery.
