Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עַם (am, meaning "people") and אֵל (El, meaning "God").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew name עַמִּיאֵל (Ammiel) in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. However, the concept of "people of God" can be related to terms like λαός (laos, G2992) for "people" and θεός (theos, G2316) for "God" in Greek.

Usage: Ammiel is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to several individuals.

Context: • Ammiel, the Spy: Ammiel was one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan. He represented the tribe of Dan. His report, along with that of the other spies (except Joshua and Caleb), was negative, leading to the Israelites' prolonged wandering in the wilderness (Numbers 13:12).
• Ammiel, Father of Machir: He is mentioned as the father of Machir, who was a friend of King David. Machir provided for Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, when David sought to show kindness to the house of Saul (2 Samuel 9:4-5).
• Ammiel, Father of Bathsheba: Ammiel is also noted as the father of Bathsheba, the wife of King David and mother of Solomon. In 1 Chronicles 3:5, he is referred to as Eliam, which is likely a variant of the same name.
• Ammiel, the Gatekeeper: Another Ammiel is listed among the gatekeepers in the time of David, serving in the temple (1 Chronicles 26:5).
