Definition: The term "anthropomorphism" in religious literature generally refers to the process by which a deity, typically a king or queen, imitates human behavior and emotions. It often involves altering their physical characteristics such as hair color, skin tone, and facial features to become more like humans, thereby fulfilling a desire for human-like qualities within divine realms.

Definition: "Anthropomorphized" in the Bible means "transformed into human form," similar to how a person can become a bird or a creature from a book. It's often used metaphorically to describe a concept that was once a creature, but has been replaced with another type of being. For instance, if someone was originally a fox and turned into a lion, they would be said to have "anthropomorphized," as it's impossible for animals to become humans without them first becoming one.
