Definition: The word "ampulated" has several meanings in the Bible, but I can give you a general overview for this term: - In Old Testament times, when God spoke through His prophet Samuel (and later prophets), his speech was often abbreviated or truncated to make it more comprehensible. - This is similar to how people might speak with shortened phrases or abbreviations when they don't want others to misunderstand them. For example, in Exodus 16:4-5, the Israelites were instructed to "make haste" and leave the camp. However, this could have been read as "take care" for emphasis in a speech like that. In some cases, however, the meaning of an abbreviated or truncated word is not immediately apparent. It's important to consider context and language usage when interpreting these verses.
