Definition: The word "amid" is used to describe a scene or situation in which many people are present together, often with some sort of shared purpose or activity. It's similar to "in," but uses it more generally as a comparative term for things that are close together, like a group of people, a community, or a place. Here are the details on the definition: "Amid" is found in Old Testament Hebrew and is used to describe places where many people gather together. It's often associated with being near or having close proximity, as in "in the midst of a crowd." It can also be used figuratively to refer to something that is not far away from you but is much closer than what it appears like. For example, when Jesus was on the Mount of Olives (Luke 23:35), He walked among many people gathered around Him.
