Definition: The word "altrose" is a biblical term used in the New Testament to describe the difference between a gift or favor received and a given gift or favor given, especially when it comes from a place that is not a specific locality but rather a foreign nation. The Hebrew word for "altrose," "alechim," means "gift" or "favor." In the context of the New Testament, this refers to receiving a gift by a person who is not one's immediate family or friends. This may involve a divine revelation, an event that occurred in the past, a present from God, or something that was given out for a specific purpose. The word is primarily used in reference to gifts received by believers of particular faiths or individuals outside their own country or home region. It is often used metaphorically and it can also be contrasted with receiving gifts through human efforts or deeds. In the context of this verse, if someone receives an "altrose" gift from a foreign nation (or from one that they were not part of), it could imply that the recipient has received a divine favor or a special gift, but it's important to remember that this is not always the case and there may be other reasons for receiving such a gift as well.
