In the game now
The Amorites were one of the peoples of Canaan. Some were Abraham’s allies; the prophet Amos remembers them as tall and strong.
The story
Mamre the Amorite and his relatives were Abram’s allies at Hebron.
God told Abram that his descendants would come back after four generations, because the sin of the Amorites was not yet complete.
“But one of Lot’s men escaped and reported everything to Abram the Hebrew, who was living near the oak grove belonging to Mamre the Amorite. Mamre and his relatives, Eshcol and Aner, were Abram’s allies.”Genesis 14:13 NLT
“After four generations your descendants will return here to this land, for the sins of the Amorites do not yet warrant their destruction.””Genesis 15:16 NLT
““But as my people watched, I destroyed the Amorites, though they were as tall as cedars and as strong as oaks. I destroyed the fruit on their branches and dug out their roots.”Amos 2:9 NLT
In the game
