Definition: The Hebrew name 'Ambergris' translates to "pearl" in English, which is a figurative expression for a particular type of gemstone or precious metal found on certain marine creatures, such as amberfish, that are said to give out pearl-like qualities when their shells are opened. In the Bible, Amorites were said to be born with an innate ability to see and hear the voice of God in other cultures, which they interpreted as a sign of God's favor or blessing for their people. The phrase "Ambergris" in Hebrew is translated into Greek as "Mammonus" (a word from the Greek for 'pearl') and means something that is acquired through commerce. In the Old Testament, this gem was described to be precious and precious stones were a symbol of divine favor or blessing. The Israelites' reliance on this stone became known as Amorite gold, which they used in religious ceremonies and festivals. In the New Testament, the word is often associated with Jesus, as He was born in Bethlehem of Judah, where there are numerous legends about the rich man who gave his wealth to the poor. The term "Mammon" was also a key element in the story of Lot's wife Haroonah, which described her inability to control her lust for a husband.

Definition: The term "ambergrises" appears in various biblical contexts, which suggests it might be a reference to a mythical or supernatural entity described in the Hebrew Bible. It's not clear exactly what the specific verse or passage from the Hebrew Bible refers to, as there is no direct evidence for this specific term. However, if we consider that the "ambergrises" were portrayed as flying creatures and they appear often in the biblical stories of Egypt, it can be interpreted as a mythical creature or spirit. The word 'ambergrises' has a very specific Hebrew meaning in relation to "amber." In ancient literature, amber is a magical substance used for casting spells, potions, and talismans. The Hebrew language uses the term "amber" to describe a magical substance that can be cast. This usage suggests an association with magic or enchantment, which could potentially be seen as a metaphor for mystical or supernatural entities. In ancient literature and storytelling, 'ambergrises' might have been used by Egyptians to imbue objects with magical properties, like amulets or talismans, or perhaps to summon magical beings. However, the exact meaning of this term is not explicitly stated in the Hebrew Bible but has a significant symbolic significance within the broader context of Egypt's religion and mythology. The passage you mentioned might be a reference to a type of spirit or demon that could be associated with magic and enchantment. The Hebrew text does not explicitly state any specific meaning for "ambergrises," as this term is generally associated with magical properties in ancient Egyptian texts, but the metaphorical use of 'amber' (and hence 'ambergrises') suggests some form of magical or enchanted entity. Therefore, while there may be a bit of ambiguity, the Hebrew term "ambergrises" does seem to have spiritual and symbolic significance within the Hebrew Bible context.
