Definition: The English term "Alicant" has no exact meaning in the English Bible as it was not used by Jesus, the Prophet of Judah. However, in the Jewish scriptures, "Alicant" refers to a particular person or place. In Jewish texts: - Alicant is the name given to the town in which King David lived, before his exile from Jerusalem. - It's also associated with the biblical prophet and patriarch, Joseph ben David, who was a son of David by Sarah, and thus the first king of Israel, and thus Alicant would be the place where he lived. This term has been used historically as part of a metaphorical narrative. The word is often used to represent the kingdom or town where Jesus was born in Galilee; it may also symbolize the Holy Land itself. However, the literal meaning of "Alicant" (as used by Jewish authors) is not clear from the context given.
