    Description

    Amam in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Amam is mentioned in Joshua 15:26 as one of the towns allotted to the tribe of Judah in the Negev region, the southern part of the Promised Land. It is listed among other towns such as Shema, Moladah, and Hazar-gaddah, indicating its location in the arid wilderness area south of Hebron. No other information about Amam is provided in the Bible, and its exact location is unknown. As part of Judah's inheritance, Amam would have been settled by members of the tribe following the conquest of Canaan under Joshua's leadership.

    The pattern

    Amam is named in 1 verse — occurrences of the name in the Hebrew or Greek, counted in the versification of the Berean Standard Bible (v5.7). Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 65 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
