Definition: The word "apesthetic" refers to something that is less valuable or luxurious than what's considered natural, typical, or appropriate. It has a negative connotation in the Bible as God chastised Israel for being "vested with luxury," which symbolized their lack of humility and righteousness. This concept echoes in the Old Testament where God's judgment against David was due to his lavish lifestyle and his pride and selfishness, mirroring His view on the sinfulness of many people at that time.
