Word Origin: Derived from the root עָמַק (H6009), meaning "to be deep" or "to be profound."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name עָמוֹק (Amok), as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context and does not have a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: The name Amok appears in the context of genealogical records, specifically within the lists of priests who returned from the Babylonian exile.

Context: • Amok is mentioned in the post-exilic period, specifically in the genealogical records of the priests. He is listed as one of the heads of the priestly families who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel. This is found in Nehemiah 12:7, where Amok is included among the priests during the time of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua. The mention of Amok highlights the continuity and restoration of the priestly line after the Babylonian exile, emphasizing the re-establishment of religious practices and leadership in Jerusalem. The name itself, derived from a root meaning "deep" or "profound," may suggest a person of depth or significance within the priestly community.
