Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָמַל (amal), which generally means "toil" or "labor."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Amal in the Strong's Greek concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew name without a direct Greek counterpart. However, genealogical and historical contexts involving Edomites may be referenced in Greek texts, but not under the specific name Amal. Usage: The name Amal appears in genealogical contexts within the Old Testament, specifically in the lineage of Esau. Context: Amal is a descendant of Esau, mentioned in the genealogical records of the Edomites. In 1 Chronicles 1:36, Amal is listed among the sons of Eliphaz, who was the son of Esau and Adah. This places Amal within the Edomite lineage, a group historically known for their interactions and conflicts with the Israelites. The name Amal, while not extensively detailed in biblical narratives, contributes to the broader genealogical and historical context of the Edomites, who are often depicted as adversaries of Israel. The Edomites' relationship with Israel is complex, marked by both kinship and conflict, as they are descendants of Esau, Jacob's brother. Amal's mention in the genealogies underscores the interconnectedness of the various tribes and peoples in the biblical narrative.
