Translations: Amalek
From the root: ΑΜΑΛΗΚ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This is a proper noun referring to Amalek, the grandson of Esau, or to the Amalekites, a nomadic people descended from him. In the Old Testament, the Amalekites were often enemies of Israel.
Inflection: Singular, Masculine, Nominative or Accusative or Genitive or Dative (the keraia indicates a number, but in this context, it's a proper noun, so it's likely a scribal mark or a form of elision/crasis, though less likely for a proper noun. Given the context, it's most likely the proper noun Amalek, and the keraia is a numerical marker for 21, which is not relevant to the word's meaning here).
