SIBI-P1 H5984-04
the Ammonite man
| Root | עמם (ʿ-m-m) |
| Core Meanings | people, kin, nation, tribal community |
| Semantic Range | a male descendant of Ammon; a member of the Ammonite people; one belonging to the nation east of the Jordan descended from Ben-Ammi; sometimes used adjectivally for Ammonite identity or origin. |
| Conceptual Significance | The Ammonites were kin to Israel through Lot (Genesis 19:38) yet frequently stood in tension or hostility toward Israel. The term marks both ethnic lineage and covenantal distinction, underscoring themes of kinship, boundary, and faithfulness to YHWH amidst surrounding nations. |
| Morphological Notes | Definite article (הָ) + gentilic adjective/noun עַמּוֹנִי; masculine singular absolute; functioning substantively to denote a male member of the nation of Ammon. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular gentilic noun with the definite article ("the"), referring to one male member of the people-group of Ammon. Rendering it "the Ammonite man" preserves both the definite masculine singular morphology and the root connection to עַם ("people"), highlighting identity as one belonging to that kin-nation. |
