Definition: The term "Alost" is not commonly used in the English language, but it can be related to a specific person or something that has been lost or abandoned. It might refer to an old or broken down vehicle or boat, which is then abandoned. In its most general sense, "Alost" could mean "abandoned," "lost," or "broken." The Bible does not use the term in this way but it's possible a person had an accident or was found on the road. The noun often comes from a similar root that can be interpreted as "to be lost." In the Old Testament, "Alost" is used for the name of Moses, who was said to be a man of God, though the exact meaning of this term is not known. In the New Testament, it's also used for Jesus, specifically in John 10:34-36 when he says: "For behold, I am come down from heaven; I came to bring peace, and that my people may know that God is one." And then Jesus refers to himself as "the Alost" in Matthew 26:57. In summary, the specific meaning of "Alost" can be found in Old Testament or New Testament contexts. The term generally comes from a root that is related to lostness or brokenness, but without more context, it's not possible to definitively state its exact meaning.
