Definition: In the Bible, "Amantillo" refers to a type of bird that has been found in the desert of Egypt during the time of Sargon II in around 2065 BC to AD 2134 BC. This bird is known for its distinctive shape and distinctive white feathers. Definition: The term "amantillo" is used figuratively in the Old Testament to describe a small, weak person who becomes so insignificant that it cannot be distinguished from others due to their size or position. The Hebrew word "amantillo" translates to "small" or "weak", and this metaphor suggests the idea of someone becoming insignificant by default. The term was also used in other biblical passages as well to describe an individual's importance or worthlessness, often in reference to smallness. The bird is not described as a symbol for humility or righteousness, but rather for its insignificance in comparison to others who are more significant or powerful.
