Definition: The Hebrew word for "Amery" appears in the Septuagint, an ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. The term itself refers to a person who has been given dominion over land or territory by God, often associated with rulership and power. Here’s the detailed definition: - Amery: This word comes from the Hebrew word "amyre", which means "kingdom" or "domain". In the context of the Bible, "Amery" likely refers to a kingdom in the wilderness, ruling over certain areas. This is a figure of speech used by the Hebrew Bible for emphasis. - Amery: It has two meanings; one as the king's title (in Old Testament) and another as an agricultural term referring to the land around Jerusalem (later in the Hebrew Bible). Here are some possible interpretations: 1.

Kingdom/Domain

: In Genesis 37, where Nebuchadnezzar II is said to have been given dominion over a kingdom, this is seen as a figure of speech, implying he had real power and control. 2.

Land/Mountains

: It could be the land around Jerusalem itself (Leviticus 1:26-38), or it might refer specifically to the land where the people were dispersed after their exodus from Egypt in Exodus 14:25, meaning they had wandered for some time. 3.

Nebuchadnezzar II

: In a literal sense, the title "Amery" could be given to Nebuchadnezzar II who is said to have ruled over a kingdom or territory in Babylon around this time (Daniel 1:26-27). It's important to note that these interpretations are based on the assumption of Old Testament authors' language and context, as some of these descriptions were later rejected by biblical interpreters due to their complexity.
