Definition: The word "alambique" in the Bible is a phrase used to describe a woman who was pregnant but had not yet given birth, as though she was still carrying a fetus. It is commonly translated as "pregnant with child," meaning that the mother was in the womb without having given birth. In this context, the term "alambique" seems to imply her presence within the womb and not yet being fully formed into a human being. The word was most likely used metaphorically by Jesus when he spoke of the woman who had been pregnant but did not yet have children as he was speaking to his disciples about the virgin birth. In other languages, "alambique" is also commonly translated as "afoam in womb" or "wombing afoul."
