Definition: The term "altazimuth" in Christian or biblical context refers to the angle of inclination of a celestial body, particularly a star, with respect to its apparent direction relative to the horizon or other celestial objects. It is often used in reference to the position of stars and planets at various times throughout the year. In the Old Testament (specifically in Ezekiel 14), it refers to an angle of inclination between the stars, which was significant because it represented a new moon rising into the sky on its way to the new sun. In this context, "altazimuth" is often used as a metaphor for the change from darkness and stillness to illumination or activity. The term is also used in more recent translations and interpretations of biblical texts where it refers to an angle of inclination between celestial bodies, but it's not universally understood, especially by scholars of early Christianity. The precise meaning of "altazimuth" can vary significantly depending on the context or the specific language and translation used.
