However, the Greek Septuagint may transliterate the name or refer to the Ammonites in passages where they are mentioned. Usage: Ben-Ammi is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to the son of Lot by his younger daughter, who became the progenitor of the Ammonites. Context: Ben-Ammi is a biblical figure mentioned in the Book of Genesis. He is the son of Lot, born through an incestuous relationship with Lot's younger daughter. This event is recorded in Genesis 19:38, where it is stated, "The younger daughter also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today." The name Ben-Ammi signifies "son of my people," reflecting the familial connection and the origin of the Ammonite nation. The Ammonites, descendants of Ben-Ammi, were a significant group in the ancient Near East, often interacting with the Israelites, sometimes as adversaries. The narrative of Ben-Ammi highlights themes of family, survival, and the complex relationships between neighboring peoples in biblical history.
