Strong's Lexicon Amaleqi: Amalekite Original Word: עֲמָלֵקִי Word Origin: Derived from עֲמָלֵק (Amalek), the name of a descendant of Esau and the nation that descended from him. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Amaleqi," but the Greek Septuagint uses Ἀμαληκίτης (Amalekites) to refer to the same people. Usage: The term "Amaleqi" refers to the people or things related to Amalek, a grandson of Esau, and the nation that descended from him. The Amalekites were a nomadic tribe known for their hostility towards the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: The Amalekites were one of the ancient enemies of Israel, often depicted in the Bible as a symbol of opposition to God's people. They first attacked the Israelites at Rephidim shortly after the Exodus from Egypt (Exodus 17:8-16). The Amalekites were known for their guerrilla warfare tactics and were a persistent threat throughout Israel's early history. God commanded the Israelites to remember the treachery of the Amalekites and to eventually blot out their memory (Deuteronomy 25:17-19).
