Definition: The term "Alligation" appears in several biblical passages, but its exact meaning is unclear due to variations in the Hebrew or Greek versions of the Old Testament. Some interpretations believe that the term comes from Greek, while others use a Hebrew translation. In the Old Testament, it's often used metaphorically as a verb meaning to divide (to divide) something into two equal parts or make things equal by dividing them into two parts. In this context, "Alligation" seems to be related to the idea of dividing up something or people in a way that creates an equal group. In Hebrew, it may also be used for an exact division of land between two parties, though this interpretation is less clear due to its ambiguity and its use in various contexts. The concept of dividing one person into two parts for purposes other than equality or fairness isn't common in the Hebrew Bible. For example: 1. "He shall be allated with his brethren" (Deuteronomy 24:9) 2. "And they shall all be allated" (Exodus 16:35) This verse suggests that certain individuals or groups are to be treated as equals in terms of their status and treatment, which could be seen as an instance of a division of labor rather than equality. In summary, the term "Alligation" is often used metaphorically to describe dividing up something into equal parts, but it can also refer to an exact division of land or people. Further, its meaning is not universally agreed upon in the Hebrew Bible.
