Definition: The term "Amaris" appears in the New International Version (NIV) as an ancient Hebrew word meaning "vessel," often used to refer to a vessel that can hold liquids, such as wine or beer. The NIV explains this usage by saying: "In 1 Samuel 20:8-9, Aamar means 'a vessel'; therefore, it is also used to signify an 'arm' (nephi) in the Torah." This word has its roots in ancient Hebrew and refers to a vessel or container that can hold water. It was used as a term of honor, symbolizing power, authority, or favor. In the context of wine or beer, it could be understood as representing God's blessing on the person who is holding this vessel. The NIV further explains: "Amaris was associated with the Hebrew word 'nephi,' which means 'a container' or 'arm.' It can also mean 'an arm of a person to hold something; an instrument that can be used as a tool. In 1 Samuel 20:8, Aamar means 'a vessel;' therefore, it is also used to signify an 'arm' (nephi) in the Torah."
