Definition: The word "ambones" appears in the Hebrew Bible (KJV) as a term used to describe the male portion or halves of animals, specifically referring to the animal leg bones. The term "ambone" comes from the Greek root "ambo", meaning "half". This term is used within the context of animals' legs and their roles in human society. In some Jewish cultures, it might also be a reference to the Hebrew word "manu" which means "arm," as it refers to the arms or parts of an animal that are typically associated with male anatomy. The exact meaning of this term can vary depending on the cultural context and the specific use. However, its literal translation could mean something like a portion of the human body where muscles or ligaments meet, possibly indicating their connection with the legs in a human physical construction. In Judaism, "ambones" is often used as a metaphor for the divisions among individuals within family groups, similar to how an animal's legs might be divided between different parts.
