Definition: The word "Amorite" is a term in Jewish history used to describe the people who were originally found in the region of Amora, which has been mentioned numerous times in the Hebrew Bible. It was later translated into Greek as "Baal-Edom," and it describes what became known as the "Baal-Edomite." The term's meaning is varied among scholars, including that it refers to a tribe or people who migrated to the land of Edom from the Amorite lands in ancient Israel.
