Definition: The English words "ambry" and "ambrys" have no direct parallels in the Bible, but they both serve a significant purpose in religious texts.

Ambry

(Greek: Ἀμβρυ) is an adjective used to describe something or someone who seems to be more than what one can see, hear or understand. It's similar to the English word "ambulance," which describes emergency medical services.

Ambrys

(Greek: ἄνθρωπος) refers to a person with a disability, often through illness or injury. This term comes from the ancient Greek word for "healer" and is associated with faith and spiritual healing practices. The phrase "to have an ambry in your heart," which means to have something that is not easily perceived, is used metaphorically in religious texts. It suggests a deeper level of understanding or spiritual connection that transcends physical appearances or senses, often referring to the importance of divine presence. In the Bible, these concepts are central to religious beliefs and practices. For example, in the Book of Job (Job 31:5-12), God is described as having an "ambry" and providing "healing" through his provision of a strong, steadfast husband, despite his enemies' attacks. So while they are not specific words found in the New Testament, their meanings can be found within the broader theological context of religious practices across different cultures.
