Amorites were known to have lived in the Levant, including modern Lebanon and some parts of Syria as well as North Africa. One group was genocided by Israel. The other two groups survived, one remained in Lebanon while others were spreading to modern day Tunisia and Sicily. In Sicily they mixed with Greeks, later building Carthage, Sidon and other prosperous Mediterranean city states. The later Phoenicians gave us what became the Roman Alphabet.

Yeah I've read that but I think it comes from monuments or ancient depictions of them in art as having blue eyes. Other than that I haven't read or heard anything else about their eye color. Thanks!
I have a document that refers to Flinders Petrie, and it says some Amorites migrated west over N Africa to Morocco then across the sea to Spain and even up to N Central Europe and still buried their dead in characteristic cromlechs. They were tall with fair skin and reddish hair. But I'm having trouble finding that document online because a previous computer with the source material crashed. Any help?
That might be a stretch. It's by now pretty well established that the White phenotype originated with East European Hunter Gatherers and spread by the Indoeuropeans. It didn't originate in the Levant, rather arpund the area of central and eastern europe
@Svevsky No doubt. Petrie was late 19th century, early 20th, and some of what I mentioned was more supposition than following the evidence. So much has been discovered, like that salt mine and the tombs in central Europe.
Might I suggest that the Amorites started out as nomads but over time became a loose collection of military families and bands often hired as mercenaries and who formed entire militia classes of certain cities? As kings they'd have been military kings. They were much like the Cossacks of Russia, nomadic in origin and identity but forming the militia class of city states.
@Gentle Wise yes but according to the Bible the amorites are not Cain's decendants. Cain's decendants were destroyed in the flood. The amortize would have been the descendents of one of Noah's sons.
I had a dream where a woman told me that the the Bible will pick fruit from US or choose fruit from trees in the United States. I woke up to scriptures about the Amorites and ran into your video. Thank you for posting, it has great meaning. Many scripture were given to me but this one right at the watching of your video. “I said to you, ‘You have now reached the hill country of the Amorites that the Lord our God is giving us.” Deuteronomy 1:20 NLT
@@عليياسر-ذ5ب Amorites were the descendants of *Canaan, the son of Ham,* like the Egyptians, *the Arabs* are the descendants of *Eber son of She'lah* same as *the Hebrews,* so no, they would not be anything like the Arabs, as a people, the only thing the Arabs and the Amorites had in common, is that they both were migratory peoples.
@@adonijahmorningstar493 The question is how were the Canaanites, who were few in number, able to colonize Cyprus, North Africa, the islands of Sicily, Spain and Portugal, when their numbers were very few?
Dario Chung. Truffles normally grows under the soil and that’s the favorite food for wild boars or many pigs for nowadays situation. Those animal searching around digging the truffles when the season comes.
Lol that's funny... not sure if those unsophisticated people will know what you're talking about though. Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate. Stay safe!
Are you able to clarify how they were nomads but they lived in cities such as lachish in Israel ? In Genesis , it says how after the Israelites conquered it from the Ammorites they changed the name .
The biblical stories were written well into the Iron age, in the mid first millennium BCE. As Cy stated in the video, the Amorites were nomads in the early 2nd millennium BCE, and by the late bronze age, they were already established as city dwellers. The authors of the Hebrew biblical books would not have known that Amorites used to be nomads 1000s of years in the past.
Non ho mai sentito su quel popolo. Video e' molto interessante, grazie tante! Mi piace molto che Kei ci fa vedere sempre anche arte dei popoli antichi di cui parla.
Funny just as Assyria fell they were all cozy in Babylon, something tells me after Babylon they migrated to Egypt, then perhaps Rome ending up in London. Very informative thanks
someone European and Semitic are closely related so you don’t know what you’re talking about. Look into V.S.O sentence structure for a start if you like.
Excerpted from: Abarim Publications' Biblical Dictionary Although the Bible doesn't mention it, we may readily assume that the name Amorite comes from the name Amor (which of course has nothing to do with the Latin word amor, meaning love). In Hebrew the latter is identical to the verb אמר ('amar), meaning to speak or say: אמר The ubiquitous verb אמר ('amar) means to talk or say and may even mean to promise or command. Nouns אמר ('omer) and מאמר (ma'amar) mean speech, word, promise or command. Nouns אמרה ('imra) and אמרה ('emra) mean utterance or speech. The metaphorical noun אמיר ('amir) refers to the leafy and fruit bearing crown of a tree.
Reading some interesting anthropological papers on the ethnic mix of people in the area back then. Some suggest that it could have been the Amorites that lent their pale skin and light hair to the Jewish population. It is not popular to bring up actual facts about how different peoples mixed and what they looked like back then because of all the current racial issues that divide people but the genetic remnants can still be seen in places like Iran of the people who were there at the time.
Secular historians regularly associate the Amorites of the Bible with the people called the Amurru in early Akkadian (Assyro-Babylonian) cuneiform texts. The Amurru are represented as invading Mesopotamia early in the second millennium B.C.E. and as having had a kingdom in Babylonia for several centuries. Hammurabi, famed lawgiver of that period, is often referred to as of “Amorite” origin. The evidence concerning the Amurru, however, does not appear to warrant the strong conclusions that are advanced as to their positive identification with the Biblical Amorites. Amurru in the ancient cuneiform texts basically meant “west” as referring to the region W of Mesopotamia. A. H. Sayce, in The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, says that the name Amurru is “a purely geographical indication of their immediate origins, from the perspective of Mesopotamia, and conveys no information about their ethnic composition or their real name.” (Edited by G. W. Bromiley, 1979, Vol. 1, p. 113) While Mari, an ancient city on the Euphrates in northern Mesopotamia, is referred to by modern secular historians as a center of the expansion of the Amurru into Mesopotamia, the thousands of tablets recovered there were almost all in the Semitic Akkadian (Assyro-Babylonian) language, with some names of West Semitic origin. As noted, however, the Biblical Amorites were Hamitic, not Semitic, and while the adoption of a Semitic tongue by some branch of them is not an impossibility, it is equally possible that the early Amurru were simply “westerners” from among the Semitic peoples living to the W of Babylonia. Professor John Bright in A History of Israel (1981, p. 49) says: “For some centuries [of the late third millennium and early second millennium B.C.E.] the people of northwestern Mesopotamia and northern Syria had been referred to in cuneiform texts as Amurru, i.e., ‘Westerners.’ This became, apparently, a general term applying to speakers of various Northwest-Semitic dialects found in the area including, in all probability, those strains from which later sprang both Hebrews and Arameans.”
@@عليياسر-ذ5ب (The Jews, not the Arabs, and the people of the Middle East, except for Iran, yes) You ignorant racist, the Arabs are the original inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula and the Fertile Crescent, and from them all the Semitic peoples emerged, and for this reason when you want to decode an ancient “Semitic” inscription you always have to open Arabic dictionaries, while the Jews are the original inhabitants of the European ghettos.
Perhaps I can find clues here. I'm seeking interactions between Amorite and Hittite peoples. Particularly decrees, edicts or depictions of unions between the two groups that were considered taboo to the point that a pregnancy would be determined most ghastly. The Hebrew Bible tale found in Yechezkel 16:1-3 OJB "Again the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying, Ben adam, cause Yerushalayim to know her to'avot (abominations), And say, Thus saith Adonoi Hashem unto Yerushalayim: Thy origin and thy birth are from Eretz HaKena'ani; avicha was HaEmori (the Amorite) and your em Chittit (a Hittite)." The story goes on to say the child was born but tossed out into the open field, placenta intact, without even swaddling it, washing it or cutting the cord. Any suggestions as to where to find the cause or reasoning for this deed of utter abandonment?
Hi, thanks for stopping by, really appreciate it! No, the Gutians are considered to have been a separate people who came from the east, specifically the Zagros mountains. The Amorites came from the west, probably from what is now northern Syria/Lebanon area. Good question though and thanks for stopping by, really appreciate it! Stay safe!
Listened to this twice. You’re honestly amazing and your videos are a wealth of information. Could you please answer some questions for me: 1) are the Yamhads indo-Europeans? Semitic? We’re they a Cannanite tribe or too far north? 2) are the amorites Semitic people ? Are they considered to be Cannanite or too far west ? PS: please do a video on ancient Yemen
Hi, thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it. So to answer your questions: 1.) Yamhad was actually an Amorite kingdom so yes, their ruling house, at least the most famous one, was of Semitic origin. 2.) Amorites were a Semitic people whose origin is not exactly known but many believe that they came from the Jebel Bishri area. Some put it even further west than that. I would love to do one on Yemen in the near future, just have to make sure that I have the proper sources. Thanks for the suggestion and any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Take care!
Great job...but their cities were Yamhad , Qatna , Ebla not Elba ( in Italy)and Mari which is within inland or Aram whereas those of coastland or Canaan where Acco, Sidon, Tyros/ Tsour, Jbeil, Ugarit .. etc.

Hemdani Madjid no I’m aramean where the Arabs descended from and the arameans descended from the amorites I have read countless of books the Mesopotamian history learned myself ancient Aramaic and some cuineform
excellent video thank you, if you would allow me to disagree only on their origins, they existed in west of the river. and from their migrated a group to Palestine and were Kennan and a group went to Syria and were Aram, so the Amorites are the origins of both, exactly as you said there is no proof of Amorites in Kennan or Aram
Thanks so much for the feedback and the info, I really appreciate it! Yeah, I am constantly learning more about them and appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me... thank you, and thanks for stopping by the channel! If you're interested in more videos with regard to the Amorites, at the moment, the most recent episodes I've been producing have been discussing the Amorite dynasties of Mesopotamia. You might find those interesting as well. Thanks again for stopping by!
If I recall correctly, the ammorites also worshipped Moloch... the god whose statue was also a sort of fire altar where they would place their live babies for sacrifices. This was why we see that the Living God commanded His people NOT to allow their children to "pass through the fire" in the Old Testament. God abhors the evils of these pagan religions for good reason.
Your idea of god is a mixture of Mesopotamian, Egyptian folklore and myth about kings! Yet somehow you found a way to virtue signal!! just wow the ignorance is strong with this one.
@@moonmagickisreal But they worship Baal and they were living in Palestine, but King Solomon made them migrate to Mesopotamia to expel the kingdom of Elam and console the kingdom of Babylon and the kingdom of Ashwar
He CY you know what’s an amazing biblical fact ? god refers to Israel and I quote “ Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Girgashite “ wouldn’t this elude or Abraham who was Chaldean being an Amorite ? Unless there is more to the context than I can figure or assume.
The Amorites are an ancient Semitic Syrian people, and they are said to be from the Arab Amalekites. They are the ancestors of the Arab Amalekites from Jedis, Tasm, and Jasim. The Amorites inhabited the Badia of Al-Sham, their capital and their original home. The Bishri Mountain was in the Syrian desert in Palmyra, Syria. They also existed in the Syrian mountains...The Amorites established kingdoms in Syria before the millennium The third AD, including the kingdoms of Mari in eastern Syria and the kingdom of Ebla in western Syria, and then the expansion of the Amorites throughout the Levant. Ruling dynasties in Babylon..also a dynasty of the Amorites called the Hyksos lived in southern Syria and then the Amorites expanded in the Sinai and were able to enter Egypt and the Hyksos occupied Egypt for two hundred years.
Amuru kingdom is in the coast of the mediteranian near the city of tartous nowadays amrit...and the amorits means all the people of the west or syria for the Sumerian or akkadian people I mean they are not one grope.
What of the Moabites? In the Old Testament, Lot and his daughter's were said to be the Father/Mothers of the Amonites and Moabites after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The Amonites were the last race of giants that were destroyed by General Joshua of the Israelites.
Ammonites and Amorites are different groups that you are confusing. The giant Amorite king Og that you're talking about is not an Ammonite. Another thing to consider is that the words only look similar in the defective Latin/Greek transliterations, because the original Semitic terms began with differnt consonants. Aleph for Amorite and 'Ayin for Ammonites.
Ezekiel 16:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite. "The first occupants of Syria appear to have been of Hamitic descent --Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, etc. After a while the first comers, who were still to a great extent nomads, received a Semitic infusion, while most Probably came to them from the southeast." Syrians can trace their Biblical heritage back to a man named Aram. He was a descendant of Shem, Noah's son. Also known as Arameans, the plight of the Syrian people can be read about throughout both the Old and New Testament. Syria is one of the oldest Biblical lands that still exists in present day. In the book of Genesis, we first hear mention of the people who would become Syrians. Their lineage is recorded here: "The sons of Shem: Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram. The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether and Meshek." (Genesis 10:22-23) It is also found in 1 Chronicles 1:17. The people of Syria settled between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, also known as Mesopotamia. (Genesis 24:10, 25:20) This included a land called Paddan Aram. (Genesis 28:5) Paddan Aram may sound familiar, as this is the homeland of Rebekah, the wife of Issac, Laban, her brother and his daughters Rachel, and Leah, the wives of Jacob. Other key Biblical figures of Aramean descent include Boaz, David, Solomon, Hezekiah, Josiah, and Joseph, the adoptive father of Jesus.
In the bible it states,Amorites came from Hams line (Noahs son)Hams son Canaan had sons, Sidon and Heth, (don't know if there were more, im assuming there were more, ?)but from them we got the Jebusite, Amorite, Girgashite, Hivite, Arkite, Sinite, Arvadite, Zemarite, and Hamathite. Afterwards the famiies of the canaanites were dispersed.And from these tribes, we got a lot of giants.......Hmmmm??? Love this video, thanks for doing it, I learned more! :)
Thank you!!!! Keep the videos coming! I know how much work this is for you, and appreciate that someone (you) is willing to do them!!!!Much appreciated!!!! :)
Bible is not a source and its a godless book of fiction true Amorites are prehebraic and pre ham and gentile unlike ham Adam and Noah and Shem who are jews. Their god is a man made like.
@Alex Sunderland the Ammorites were Semites their names .. their culture .. their old gods as well as the Ancient DNA of them found in Jordan (mainly J-P58) which is common among Semites of today and one of the main Semitic Y-DNAs
Amorites or AKA Amurru also occupied the entire Amur river/Black Dragon drainage system, the largest in Asia, and named it after themselves. From the Tarim Basin we have giant tartan-weaving Amorites right down the river to the Bay of Tartary and Amore Bay. It's the black Dragon clans. They always ruled and more recently they brought their Mongolians with them to colonise most of North America. They had by then 6 cities and more than 100 towns along the great salt lake alone. These are our redheaded giants the indians chopped up.
Wasn't Hamurabi the one who came up with an "eye for an eye" law? The Amorites were wiped off the face of the earth by the Israelites according to the Torah. One of many civilizations in the area during the Jewish conquest after they left Egypt
Hamurabi is definitely credited with codifying the 1st written laws such as the one you mentioned. Not all Amorites were exterminated by Israel, just the ones that lived in Canaan.
Tell that to the amhara who think they r original Ethiopians they are not! When Greeks said aethiopiens the burnt faces they meant cushites Oromo anuak afar etc
The intermingling of the different people would have essentially created new religion as they brought their own into one another's lives it would seem. This would have brought issues of its own. To marry into another religious background would mean compromising their own beliefs and traditions. Marriage to a Christian doesn't determine a long Christian marriage though because one person in that marriage can backslide which creates its own conflicts and feelings of betrayl because they married believing that was the common goal to further into God together. However the focus begins to shift and can cause the still believing to struggle within that situation and may even become resentful towards God himself. No matter how strong a person's faith initially is or seems to be, over time there can be a shift within the heart. The same thing can begin to happen within the marriage. This is why I didn't want a religious man.. but rather someone I enjoyed spending time with. I have seen the fruits of the marriage where they have been in that situation. However I myself cannot not believe in God. I wouldn't want to be with someone of a belief of a differing deity which only creates conflict that is not healthy. So I won't apologise for that.

Matty John How is it that the holy Bible does not tell us that the Israëlites were pastoral nomads who came from Amurru to settle among the " land of Canaan , " later pretending that Canaan was promised them by their own god YHW ?

I had a dream where a woman told me that the the Bible will pick fruit from US or choose fruit from trees in the United States. I woke up to scriptures about the Amorites and ran into your video. Thank you for posting, it has great meaning. Many scripture were given to me but this one right at the watching of your video.

I have a question for my NHD project. Does anybody know about slavery in Amorite?
Also the Hyksos / Hekau-khasut in Egypt were most probably of Amorite descent, according to Aaron A. Burke.
True, but they are very close to the Arabs and the Carthaginians
@@عليياسر-ذ5ب Amorites were the descendants of *Canaan, the son of Ham,* like the Egyptians, *the Arabs* are the descendants of *Eber son of She'lah* same as *the Hebrews,* so no, they would not be anything like the Arabs, as a people, the only thing the Arabs and the Amorites had in common, is that they both were migratory peoples.
@@adonijahmorningstar493 So why are their names similar?
That would make sense since *both Amorites and Egyptians* came through *Ham* sons *Cush
@@adonijahmorningstar493 The question is how were the Canaanites, who were few in number, able to colonize Cyprus, North Africa, the islands of Sicily, Spain and Portugal, when their numbers were very few?

Good information.
Are you able to clarify how they were nomads but they lived in cities such as lachish in Israel ? In Genesis , it says how after the Israelites conquered it from the Ammorites they changed the name .
They started out as nomads, but by the time of the events in the bible, would long since have conquered cities and/or settled down.
The biblical stories were written well into the Iron age, in the mid first millennium BCE. As Cy stated in the video, the Amorites were nomads in the early 2nd millennium BCE, and by the late bronze age, they were already established as city dwellers. The authors of the Hebrew biblical books would not have known that Amorites used to be nomads 1000s of years in the past.

Excerpted from: Abarim Publications' Biblical Dictionary
Although the Bible doesn't mention it, we may readily assume that the name Amorite comes from the name Amor (which of course has nothing to do with the Latin word amor, meaning love). In Hebrew the latter is identical to the verb אמר ('amar), meaning to speak or say:
אמר
The ubiquitous verb אמר ('amar) means to talk or say and may even mean to promise or command. Nouns אמר ('omer) and מאמר (ma'amar) mean speech, word, promise or command. Nouns אמרה ('imra) and אמרה ('emra) mean utterance or speech. The metaphorical noun אמיר ('amir) refers to the leafy and fruit bearing crown of a tree.
awesome video
Thank you, appreciate it!
Reading some interesting anthropological papers on the ethnic mix of people in the area back then. Some suggest that it could have been the Amorites that lent their pale skin and light hair to the Jewish population. It is not popular to bring up actual facts about how different peoples mixed and what they looked like back then because of all the current racial issues that divide people but the genetic remnants can still be seen in places like Iran of the people who were there at the time.
Yup if you don’t say they were black or white then you don’t know anything lol it’s so bad people refuse to do the research

Secular historians regularly associate the Amorites of the Bible with the people called the Amurru in early Akkadian (Assyro-Babylonian) cuneiform texts. The Amurru are represented as invading Mesopotamia early in the second millennium B.C.E. and as having had a kingdom in Babylonia for several centuries. Hammurabi, famed lawgiver of that period, is often referred to as of “Amorite” origin.
The evidence concerning the Amurru, however, does not appear to warrant the strong conclusions that are advanced as to their positive identification with the Biblical Amorites. Amurru in the ancient cuneiform texts basically meant “west” as referring to the region W of Mesopotamia. A. H. Sayce, in The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, says that the name Amurru is “a purely geographical indication of their immediate origins, from the perspective of Mesopotamia, and conveys no information about their ethnic composition or their real name.” (Edited by G. W. Bromiley, 1979, Vol. 1, p. 113)
While Mari, an ancient city on the Euphrates in northern Mesopotamia, is referred to by modern secular historians as a center of the expansion of the Amurru into Mesopotamia, the thousands of tablets recovered there were almost all in the Semitic Akkadian (Assyro-Babylonian) language, with some names of West Semitic origin. As noted, however, the Biblical Amorites were Hamitic, not Semitic, and while the adoption of a Semitic tongue by some branch of them is not an impossibility, it is equally possible that the early Amurru were simply “westerners” from among the Semitic peoples living to the W of Babylonia.
Professor John Bright in A History of Israel (1981, p. 49) says: “For some centuries [of the late third millennium and early second millennium B.C.E.] the people of northwestern Mesopotamia and northern Syria had been referred to in cuneiform texts as Amurru, i.e., ‘Westerners.’ This became, apparently, a general term applying to speakers of various Northwest-Semitic dialects found in the area including, in all probability, those strains from which later sprang both Hebrews and Arameans.”

You ignorant racist, the Arabs are the original inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula and the Fertile Crescent, and from them all the Semitic peoples emerged, and for this reason when you want to decode an ancient “Semitic” inscription you always have to open Arabic dictionaries, while the Jews are the original inhabitants of the European ghettos.
Perhaps I can find clues here.
I'm seeking interactions between Amorite and Hittite peoples. Particularly decrees, edicts or depictions of unions between the two groups that were considered taboo to the point that a pregnancy would be determined most ghastly. The Hebrew Bible tale found in Yechezkel 16:1-3 OJB "Again the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying, Ben adam, cause Yerushalayim to know her to'avot (abominations), And say, Thus saith Adonoi Hashem unto Yerushalayim: Thy origin and thy birth are from Eretz HaKena'ani; avicha was HaEmori (the Amorite) and your em Chittit (a Hittite)." The story goes on to say the child was born but tossed out into the open field, placenta intact, without even swaddling it, washing it or cutting the cord.
Any suggestions as to where to find the cause or reasoning for this deed of utter abandonment?

Hi, thanks for stopping by, really appreciate it! No, the Gutians are considered to have been a separate people who came from the east, specifically the Zagros mountains.

Listened to this twice. You’re honestly amazing and your videos are a wealth of information. Could you please answer some questions for me:
1) are the Yamhads indo-Europeans? Semitic? We’re they a Cannanite tribe or too far north?
2) are the amorites Semitic people ? Are they considered to be Cannanite or too far west ?
PS: please do a video on ancient Yemen
Hi, thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it. So to answer your questions:
1.) Yamhad was actually an Amorite kingdom so yes, their ruling house, at least the most famous one, was of Semitic origin.
2.) Amorites were a Semitic people whose origin is not exactly known but many believe that they came from the Jebel Bishri area. Some put it even further west than that.
I would love to do one on Yemen in the near future, just have to make sure that I have the proper sources. Thanks for the suggestion and any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Take care!

Amorites came from Urim that is Rim, Amor son of Canaan is named after Rim son of Arpakhased.
If I recall correctly, the ammorites also worshipped Moloch... the god whose statue was also a sort of fire altar where they would place their live babies for sacrifices. This was why we see that the Living God commanded His people NOT to allow their children to "pass through the fire" in the Old Testament. God abhors the evils of these pagan religions for good reason.

The Amorites are an ancient Semitic Syrian people, and they are said to be from the Arab Amalekites. They are the ancestors of the Arab Amalekites from Jedis, Tasm, and Jasim. The Amorites inhabited the Badia of Al-Sham, their capital and their original home. The Bishri Mountain was in the Syrian desert in Palmyra, Syria. They also existed in the Syrian mountains...The Amorites established kingdoms in Syria before the millennium The third AD, including the kingdoms of Mari in eastern Syria and the kingdom of Ebla in western Syria, and then the expansion of the Amorites throughout the Levant. Ruling dynasties in Babylon..also a dynasty of the Amorites called the Hyksos lived in southern Syria and then the Amorites expanded in the Sinai and were able to enter Egypt and the Hyksos occupied Egypt for two hundred years.

What of the Moabites? In the Old Testament, Lot and his daughter's were said to be the Father/Mothers of the Amonites and Moabites after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The Amonites were the last race of giants that were destroyed by General Joshua of the Israelites.
Ammonites and Amorites are different groups that you are confusing. The giant Amorite king Og that you're talking about is not an Ammonite. Another thing to consider is that the words only look similar in the defective Latin/Greek transliterations, because the original Semitic terms began with differnt consonants. Aleph for Amorite and 'Ayin for Ammonites.
@@potupchik Yes, thank you. I had forgotten about the Ammonites. There is a difference.
Ezekiel 16:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.
"The first occupants of Syria appear to have been of Hamitic descent --Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, etc. After a while the first comers, who were still to a great extent nomads, received a Semitic infusion, while most Probably came to them from the southeast."
Syrians can trace their Biblical heritage back to a man named Aram. He was a descendant of Shem, Noah's son. Also known as Arameans, the plight of the Syrian people can be read about throughout both the Old and New Testament. Syria is one of the oldest Biblical lands that still exists in present day.
In the book of Genesis, we first hear mention of the people who would become Syrians. Their lineage is recorded here:
"The sons of Shem: Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram. The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether and Meshek." (Genesis 10:22-23)
It is also found in 1 Chronicles 1:17.
The people of Syria settled between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, also known as Mesopotamia. (Genesis 24:10, 25:20) This included a land called Paddan Aram. (Genesis 28:5) Paddan Aram may sound familiar, as this is the homeland of Rebekah, the wife of Issac, Laban, her brother and his daughters Rachel, and Leah, the wives of Jacob.
Other key Biblical figures of Aramean descent include Boaz, David, Solomon, Hezekiah, Josiah, and Joseph, the adoptive father of Jesus.

They did not refer to them selves as Amorites they are just Semites from Arabia and they did not settle in Sumer they established Babylon and Mari
no they werent native to mari, i can say that because there were amorites in mari, but they were working slaves
In the bible it states,Amorites came from Hams line (Noahs son)Hams son Canaan had sons, Sidon and Heth, (don't know if there were more, im assuming there were more, ?)but from them we got the Jebusite, Amorite, Girgashite, Hivite, Arkite, Sinite, Arvadite, Zemarite, and Hamathite.

Amorites or AKA Amurru also occupied the entire Amur river/Black Dragon drainage system, the largest in Asia, and named it after themselves. From the Tarim Basin we have giant tartan-weaving Amorites right down the river to the Bay of Tartary and Amore Bay. It's the black Dragon clans. They always ruled and more recently they brought their Mongolians with them to colonise most of North America. They had by then 6 cities and more than 100 towns along the great salt lake alone. These are our redheaded giants the indians chopped up.

The intermingling of the different people would have essentially created new religion as they brought their own into one another's lives it would seem. This would have brought issues of its own. To marry into another religious background would mean compromising their own beliefs and traditions. Marriage to a Christian doesn't determine a long Christian marriage though because one person in that marriage can backslide which creates its own conflicts and feelings of betrayl because they married believing that was the common goal to further into God together. However the focus begins to shift and can cause the still believing to struggle within that situation and may even become resentful towards God himself. No matter how strong a person's faith initially is or seems to be, over time there can be a shift within the heart. The same thing can begin to happen within the marriage. This is why I didn't want a religious man.. but rather someone I enjoyed spending time with. I have seen the fruits of the marriage where they have been in that situation. However I myself cannot not believe in God. I wouldn't want to be with someone of a belief of a differing deity which only creates conflict that is not healthy. So I won't apologise for that.
