SIBI-P1 H5985-01

the Ammonite-woman

Rootעמם (ʿ-m-m)
Core Meaningspeople, kin, clan, tribal community
Semantic RangeA woman belonging to the nation or lineage of Ammon; an Ammonite by birth or ethnic identity.
Conceptual SignificanceAmmon was a neighboring kin-nation descended from Lot, often in tension with Israel. References to an "Ammonite-woman" frequently highlight issues of intermarriage, covenant boundaries, and Israel’s relationship with surrounding peoples.
Morphological NotesDefinite article (הָ) + feminine singular gentilic noun in the absolute state; no pronominal suffix. The form denotes a single female member of the people of Ammon.
Rendering RationaleThe term is the feminine singular gentilic form of עַמּוֹן (Ammon), itself derived from the root relating to "people" or "kin." The rendering "Ammonite-woman" preserves the ethnic derivation from the kin-group Ammon and accurately reflects the feminine singular form with the definite article ("the").
