| | Amorite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Amorites seem to have worshipped the moon-god Sin and Amurru. | | | Previously, Assyriologists had theorized that the Amorites were a nomadic people ruled by fierce tribal clansmen who apparently forced themselves into lands they needed to graze their herds. | | | Presumably their original tongue was a northwest Semitic dialect (see Amorite language.) The main sources for our extremely limited knowledge about the language are proper names, not Akkadian in style, that are preserved in such texts. |

| | The Amorites did, however, import a new god into Sumerian religion, Marduk, which they elevated to the supreme position over the other gods. | | | We do know that the Amorites lived in close contact with the Sumerians for a long time preceding their ascendency over the region, so it's possible that they gradually adopted Sumerian religion over several centuries. | | | Like the Sumerians, the Amorites did not believe that life after death held any promise or threat, so like the Sumerians, Amorite religion ruthlessly focssed on this world. |

| | The Ancient Amorites (Amurru) of Mesopotamia |
| | In Genesis X:15-16 the "Amorite" is said to be a son of Canaan... | | | In Genesis X:6 of the same chapter Canaan is said to be the youngest son of Ham... | | | This is by no means astonishing for there is also in late tradition a clear consciousness of the fact that the Amorites were an important ethnic group merging into the Israelite people once upon a time (Ezekiel 16:1-3). |

| | The Amorites |
| | Even when the Amorites do kill these liberators, as they did with Jesus, their spiritual resistance cannot be annulled, since their blood cries out from the ground to God and unleashes God's righteous indignation on the Amorites. | | | From one Amorite high priest, Annas, Jesus was sent to another Amorite high priest, Caiaphas (there were two high priests at the time, according to Luke 3:2). | | | Jebusites protect their Amorite pastors from believers who are speaking under the prophetic anointing by telling the believer to compare his or her human titles to the pastor's human titles, and most of the time, if not always, the Amorite pastor will win this comparison. |

| | The great-grandson of Khammu-rabi still calls himself "king of the widespread land of the Amorites," but two generations later Babylonia was invaded by the Hittites, the Amorite dynasty came to an end, and there was once more a "king of the Amorites" who was not also king of Babylonia. | | | In Numbers 13:29 the Amorites are described as mountaineers, and in harmony with thins, according to Professor Petrie's notes, the Egyptian artists represent them with fair complexions, blue eyes and light hair. | | | The Amorite king, captured on this occasion by the Egyptians, was probably the immediate predecessor of the Sihon of the Old Testament. |
