This Amorite entry represents the Amorites as an ancestral or people-group figure in the genealogical and prophetic material, not a single narrative individual. It functions as a named national branch within the wider Canaanite world. First appears in Gen 10:16.1
AI summary: This Amorite matters because the cross references move from genealogy to prophetic recollection in order to portray one of the major peoples displaced before Israel. Amos especially uses the Amorite as an emblem of formidable strength overcome only by God's action, not Israel's merit. The name therefore carries both historical and theological weight. Taken together, the material presents the Amorite as a representative ancestral people whose defeat magnifies the Lord's saving work.1
