Definition: The word "alk" appears in the Bible multiple times, but its exact meaning varies depending on the context. In English, the term "alk" typically means a stone or rock, which is used in various meanings, such as: 1.

Alkali

- This term refers to rocks that form a compound with NaOH (sodium hydroxide) and can be formed from limestone and other minerals. 2.

Alkalic

- The alkali group of elements including hydrogen, oxygen and sulfur are highly reactive at high temperatures and in the presence of water. In the King James Version (KJV), "alk" is translated as "salt rock," meaning it was used to make salt. This word is often found in the Bible in connection with the Old Testament narrative about manna from God. For example, in Deuteronomy 8:4-5, the Hebrew text says that God instructed Moses to give manna to his people (Manna) "to eat," and then to cast a kind of salt rock over them. This is not the same as alkali, which is primarily used for the formation of salt from minerals. In Deuteronomy 8:10, it's stated that the manna was "salt rock" or "manna." This phrase refers more broadly to the whole type of food (manna) which includes both the salt and grains.
