Definition: The word "ambury" comes from a Greek word meaning "to hold fast," indicating that someone is clinging on to something or someone at great risk, much like holding onto a firewood. The Bible does not provide many specific details about what "ambury" means in this context. However, it is often used figuratively or metaphorically in verse contexts where the speaker wishes to emphasize their faithfulness and unwavering commitment. For instance, Paul exhorts Timothy to hold on to his faith as he writes to him (2 Tim 5:14-17). This implies that while holding onto material possessions can sometimes cause hardship, clinging tightly to a fixed belief can endure more trials than allowing things to change with the times. In general, "ambury" signifies a steadfastness or commitment to something, much like an oak tree being rooted firmly in its soil. It is not commonly translated literally as it is used metaphorically in this passage. Please note that the exact meaning of "ambury," as such, can vary depending on cultural and religious contexts where "ambury" may be understood differently due to various interpretations and nuances within the Bible.
