Definition: The word "ammelide" comes from Greek and literally means "shining light". It refers to a type of crucible used for molten metal casting, specifically for producing iron tools, which is known as the "iron age". In the context of Hebrew scriptures (from the Old Testament), the term "ammelide" appears in verse 42: "The Lord said to the people of Israel, 'Thus says the Lord, I will put a light upon your lamps that you may shine forth'". This suggests the lamp was meant to illuminate the path and make it easier for those who needed light or guidance. Now, here's an explanation of the term: - Ammelide is used metaphorically in Hebrew scriptures. It refers to a type of crucible used in metal casting for producing iron tools. In this context, "ammelide" may be understood as referring to a furnace, a place where molten iron is熔炼 (casting) and hardened into iron. - The specific language from the Old Testament indicates that "ammelide" was used to cast iron tools for the purpose of shining light on the path. This is consistent with Hebrew scriptures which speak about the importance of lamps in guiding people or illuminating a way, such as when God gives light to the Israelites (Leviticus 14:6). - The term "ammelide" was not specific to crucibles but likely referred to any type of casting tool that produced iron. It's possible that it may have been used in other contexts beyond just iron tools, such as for making lamps or candles.
