Definition: The word "alphorns" in the Bible has no direct translation or literal meaning, but its context seems to be related to the Hebrew word "aleph," which is often used to refer to an object that is the first letter in a number. The Hebrew word "aleph" generally refers to a numerical unit with one letter, and it can represent various objects like a seed or a grain. In this context, "alphorns" could be used figuratively (like "seedlings") or literally (like a single letter). It's possible that the specific context in which "alphorns" was used by the Hebrew Bible writer to refer to the first letter of the number 1 is uncertain. If it meant something like "seeds," then "alphorns" could represent numerous different things, such as grains or other substances with a specific amount. However, without further context from the Bible, this interpretation is purely hypothetical and not confirmed by the text itself. The literal meaning of "alphorns" in Hebrew would likely be an object that can have one letter written down, just like a seedling or a grain.
