Definition: In the King James Version (KJV), "allogeneous" appears with a small number of instances, but its definition is not well-established in the English language. The term "allogeneous," which refers to something that is derived from another, usually related or natural in nature, can be traced back to Greek literature. The meaning varies greatly depending on the context and the specific usage: 1.

Allogeneous

- In biblical contexts, "allogeneous" most commonly means "related by descent" or "derived from a common ancestor." It is often used in terms of genetic inheritance, as well as in relation to spiritual ancestry. 2.

Allogenic

- This term was introduced by Jewish tradition and can be traced back to the Targum on Nehemiah 6:17 and also in other passages in the OT. It suggests that an individual or entity is related to another person or creature by means of a common source, typically biological (allegorically) or spiritual (arithmetical). 3.

Allo-

- In Old English and Middle English, "allo" was often used as part of a term indicating connection, particularly in religious contexts. It can denote any kind of "relation," including but not limited to, "relatedness," "chain-like," or "concealed." 4.

Alien

- The word "alien" is also found in the Hebrew Bible, with its Hebrew equivalent being "ali". It refers to a person who is not a native of the place where he lives or speaks. In Greek and other languages, this term can mean anything related to nature or life. 5.

Allogenic

- This is the same as "allo-" but it has broader usage in English, especially when referring to an individual or entity that is related by common descent to a person. 6.

Alien

- In Jewish tradition and later Christian usage, this term comes from the Targum of Nehemiah 6:17 which says "al-al al" (ali means "alien") as the word for 'God's people', or 'the people of God'. This suggests an aspect of spiritual ancestry that is different from what we have traditionally thought of as human ancestry. In summary, the term "allogeneous" has been used in biblical contexts to refer to a person or entity related through natural descent. The exact usage varies between the various languages and traditions but primarily describes something derived from a common source.
