Definition: The word "amphipods" is a term used in the Bible that refers to various types of marine animals, including aquatic insects called amphipods. The exact definition can vary by context; however, in general, they are organisms found in body louse burrows or in other small bodies of water. They have sharp legs and live or sleep in their habitats. Amphipods were a symbol for the wickedness of the serpent (Genesis 3:5), who was later cast out of heaven due to his disobedience.
