Definition: The Hebrew verb "amey," translated to English as "melting" or "coagulating," is often used in Jewish religious texts to describe a process where a liquid substance cools down or solidifies due to heat or pressure. In the OT, it means the breaking of a liquid into its constituent elements, such as water, which is called "amidah." In other words, it could be thought of as melting a frozen substance. The precise definition for 'amelolysis' can vary widely depending on the context, but generally refers to the process where a liquid or solid material becomes crystalline (solid) due to increased pressure. This might occur in various circumstances such as heat treatment, chemical processes, or even during freezing or thawing of water at different temperatures. In the Bible, 'amelolysis' occurs in connection with the destruction of a living creature, like the "ammonites" in Deuteronomy 28:7-10. It describes the natural process of liquid becoming solid through heat or pressure. The exact context and specific details regarding how an individual might have experienced this process are not fully understood by the Hebrew scholars of the OT; however, it is believed to be a metaphor that conveys a symbolic representation of a physical transformation or event that occurred.
