Definition: The word "melb" in the Bible has a different meaning than we might think: - Melb was an ancient name for the city of Babylon, which was ruled by the Medes. It originally referred to the western part of the country and became associated with the east side. - In the Old Testament (Matthew 22:30), Jesus uses the term "Melchizedek" to refer to the priestly or spiritual leader of his people. - Melb also referred to a type of wheat in Greek mythology, which was symbolically represented as an image of the soul and life force of God. In modern terms, it's a diminutive form of "Mebel," which is used in many languages including Arabic for men.
