Definition: "Amato," a Hebrew term, appears in several places in the New Testament, but its exact meaning is not clear. It was first mentioned in Deuteronomy 17:6-9 where it refers to an offering that must be made according to the law, and also in Psalm 55:2, which states that "you shall give as a ransom for sin". However, these references are primarily used by early Christian authors to describe the act of sacrifice to God. The precise meaning and context of "Amato" can vary. For example: 1. Amato in Deuteronomy 17:6-9 refers to an offering or sacrifice made under the commandment of Levitical sacrifices (Leviticus 5:3), which is similar to Hebrew offerings (Deut. 18:2-6). In this sense, "Amato" could also mean an offering or sacrifice that was prepared before it was offered (e.g., in a Temple or court ceremony). 2. Amato in Psalm 55:2 refers to the act of presenting oneself as a ransom for sins (Ps. 55:2-3), which is similar to the Hebrew term "mitzrayim" (which means "ransom") used in the Old Testament and later on by Christian authors. Overall, it's difficult to say precisely what "Amato" refers to without more context from its original source. It could be a metaphorical expression of an offering or sacrifice, reflecting both the commandment and the practice of religious service.
