Definition: The word "ambitendency" in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the book of Joshua (Book of the Prophets), translates to "the spirit of the Lord" in a plural sense. In the context of this passage, it suggests that the character who embodies the divine will and spirit within him is an outstanding and highly endowed individual with great potential for greatness and success. The Hebrew noun 'ambit' refers to a high standard or aim, which is often associated with God's plan for mankind, the Messiah. This is exemplified in the Old Testament as God's purpose is for His children to be strong, mighty, wise, and able to fulfill His will through the example of Moses and Aaron. The phrase 'ambitendency' here appears to indicate an individual with remarkable potential for greatness, a spiritual character endowed with great abilities, and an outlook that inspires others. It also reflects on the importance of standing out in one's field as exemplified by God's plan of His people and the character that will achieve this. The specific Hebrew verse from the book of Joshua (Book of the Prophets) where 'ambitendency' is used is: "Behold, the Lord thy God dwelleth with thee, and he shall be thy refuge, and unto all that thou doest give place; And thou shalt not fear or be afraid of them, neither shalt thou grow faint nor be weary from doing his will." This verse clearly shows the significance of this term in the context of the book of Joshua.
