Usage: Mamre is a personal name and also refers to a location associated with the patriarch Abraham. It is most notably recognized as the name of an Amorite ally of Abraham and the name of the oak grove or terebinth trees near Hebron where Abraham dwelt. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, alliances with local leaders were crucial for survival and prosperity. Mamre, as an Amorite chief, was one of the allies of Abraham, along with his brothers Eshcol and Aner. The terebinth trees of Mamre were significant as a landmark and a place of divine encounters. The area around Hebron, where Mamre was located, was a central region in the narratives of the patriarchs, serving as a backdrop for key events in Abraham's life.
