Definition: The term "afficionado" in the Old Testament refers to a person who has a deep, passionate love for God or his religion. The Hebrew words are translated as "loving with all the heart," which can be seen as a direct reference to the Hebrew expression "avoda adumai, which means "to love with all one's heart" in Yoruba. In this context, an afficionado would dedicate their life to serving and loving God, dedicating themselves completely to his worship or teaching. The meaning of an "afficionado" is not clear from the text itself but could be seen as a literal expression for the Hebrew word "avoda." If it were more metaphorical, it might mean someone who is devoted or passionate about something. In English-speaking cultures, this term often implies that one has developed an intense and dedicated love for some kind of sacred thing or religion. The idea here is to describe someone deeply drawn to God's work or belief system. The word "afficionado" seems to be a literal translation in the Old Testament into modern English language, perhaps in reference to Jewish traditions or religious texts that might have used it as a metaphorical term for devotion and love for God.
