<p> '''''ā´mi''''' -'''''a''''' -'''''b´l''''' ( <span> ידיד </span> , <i> '''''yedhı̄dh''''' </i> , "beloved"): [[Applied]] to the tabernacle or tent of meeting "How amiable ("lovely" the [[Revised]] Version, margin) are thy tabernacles" ( <span> [[Psalm]] 84:1 </span> ), the plural having reference to the subdivisions and appurtenances of the sanctuary (compare <span> Psalm 68:35 </span> ). The adjective is rendered "amiable" in the sense of the [[French]] <i> amiable </i> , lovely; but the usage of the [[Hebrew]] word requires it to be understood as meaning "dear," "beloved." [[Compare]] "so amiable a prospect" (Sir T. Herbert), "They keep their churches so cleanly and amiable" (Howell, 1644). "What made the tabernacle of [[Moses]] lovely was not the outside, which was very mean, but what was within" (John Gill). [[See]] [[Tabernacle]] . </p> | |||
