Definition: In the Bible, "Anapyx" refers to a type of bird that lives in caves or burrows. It's also referred to as "cave-creatures," because they often dwell in dark crevices or underground spaces. These creatures are nocturnal, meaning they don't emerge from their hiding places at dawn, which is unusual for animals. The term "anaptyx" is a poetic word used by the Israelites to describe the appearance of the ark on Mount Zion, indicating that God intended to bring salvation through them.
