of Ammon
Ammon – both the personal name of a figure in Genesis, the son of Lot by his younger daughter (Gen 19:38), and the collective term for his descendants, who became known in the biblical text as the people of Ammon, occupying a territory east of the Jordan River. The word denotes (1) the ancestor (ʻAmmôn), (2) the group descended from him (Ammonites), and (3) the geographic/political entity ('the land of Ammon'). In context, it refers to either the figure himself, his ethnos, or their territory, depending on literary or historical reference.
