👉 The word "mayhew" comes from the Bible and refers to the Hebrew term used in Old Testament times for the Israelites. It originally meant to eat, but later became a term for referring to God as He was or acting through His people. In Old Testament times, the phrase "Mayhew" referred to God's presence among the Israelites, often seen as a sign of God's covenant with them and His promises. The word is now commonly used in Christian theology and prayer to express gratitude, praise, and worship to God.
