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."
