Definition: The word "alwise" appears in a verse of Hebrews 11:35, where Jesus compares his words to those of a wise teacher who has taught well, just as he did before. He says: "For if I say, 'All authority is given to me in heaven and on earth,' but do not perform my works, are you saying that I am not doing what I said?" Here "alwise" means to do something as instructed without any reservations or hesitation. The Bible often uses similar expressions and metaphors. For instance: - In 2 Chronicles 15:14-16, King Solomon says to his people, "Your fathers did it; they were wise in their own eyes, but you turned aside from the teaching of wisdom." This means that despite being taught by a wise teacher, they chose a wrong path. - In Genesis 29:23, Abraham was told by God not to use his son Isaac as an example or teach him like he did before him. When speaking about the Old Testament, "alway" is often used to mean continuously or consistently. For example: - In Numbers 15:4, Moses tells Pharaoh that if they keep talking of Moses and their ancestors, God will bring them down from heaven again. - In Job 7:28, Job says, "I will not repeat my words, for I am always speaking truth." - In Isaiah 29:30-31, God's word is constantly spoken, and the people of Israel respond accordingly. The metaphorical meaning of "alway" is to say that something is constant or always as it should be. It implies that what we do or say is reliable and trustworthy, no matter how much we may wish otherwise.
