Definition: "Amidship" refers to a place or location within the Bible where God's people once dwelt, possibly in Egypt, Judah, or other places as it describes the wilderness wanderings of Moses and the Israelites. In Hebrew, "amidship" is translated as "wander." The verb "wander" means "to wander," which can be seen as a metaphorical term to describe God's people who wandered in the desert and eventually reached Mount Sinai, where they received their law from God. This place was considered holy and symbolic of God's presence and guidance on earth. The context in which this word is used suggests that God's people once were at the site of God's revelation. The term "amidship" does not imply a literal walk among the animals, but rather it describes a state of being surrounded by or within a place that was believed to be holy and where God's presence was greatest. This word is foundational in many religious traditions as a symbol of God's protection, guidance, and presence. It also often refers to a place where spiritual direction or wisdom are sought and gained through the study of scripture and the practice of prayer.

Definition: The word "Amidships" is a term in Hebrew, which means "from the outside." It refers to the general area or region surrounding a person, group, or organization. In the context of the Bible, it often connotes the center or core of something, emphasizing its importance and presence. For example: - The "amidships" of David are the people who served under him. - In Isaiah 65:12, the king asks about his "amidships," asking for their loyalty and support. - In Ezekiel 40:19, God tells his servant to be with "the men from afar" (Israel's people) to help them defend the land against the enemies. This term is often used metaphorically in Old Testament literature, emphasizing the central nature of a group or person. It was also used figuratively and literally in modern usage, especially when referring to the areas where something is located, such as "the center" of a building or "the neighborhood."
