Definition: The word "adulticide" in the Hebrew Bible (KJV) does not have a direct definition given its context and the way the phrase is used within the verse. However, it refers to any person who has attained a certain age or maturity level. In this verse, God commands Moses to take the tablets of the law and burn them at the firstborn of each household if they did not commit adultery. The Hebrew term for "adult" (转值讚止专) means old, aged, or mature. The root of the word in Hebrew is "tav," which can mean "old" and "age." In this sense, "adult" refers to someone who has attained a certain age of maturity. The verb "burn" (诇讻指讘执讬诇) is used twice in the context of burning tablets. The first time it is used with the commandment to take the tablets from each household after Moses had been given them by God, meaning they were required for public observance. In other contexts, however, "burn" might be used metaphorically to describe a person's maturity or age. The Hebrew verb "to become old" (讜止专值诐) is not found in the original text but appears in verses 49-50 of Exodus 21:17. This verse describes Moses as "a man over seventy." The word "old" here means mature, and it seems to be an additional clause added after the commandment for the first time. In summary, "adulticide" is a figurative term referring to a person who has attained age or maturity level beyond their natural lifespan, often used in Old Testament contexts. The verb "to become old" (讜止专值诐) also appears as a figurative word to describe someone's physical appearance, possibly an older generation.
