Definition: The word "Allanites" in the New Revised Standard Version (KJV) refers to individuals who were born into a tribe, originally belonging to the Israelite people. This term appears historically in the Bible as an allusion to the relationship between God and the Israelites. According to the Hebrew Bible, the Israelites were descended from Abraham (Gen. 12:2), and the family lineage included Jacob (Exod. 16:7) as well as Isaac (Gen. 18:21) and Esau (1Sam. 9:4). They lived in the land of Canaan, where they were later converted to Judaism (Deut. 10:10-13). In the New Testament, the apostle Paul refers to these "allanites" as God's chosen people who are not only descendants of Abraham but also heirs according to the promise of Genesis 12:3, where it is stated that the children of Israel were chosen by God. Specifically, they have been given the promise of being the recipients of Christ, which includes their adoption into his body and blood. The specific term "allanites" is used as a metaphor in the Old Testament context to refer to people who are not part of the original Israelite community but share certain characteristics or qualities that were inherited from them.
