Kejadian 19:38

19:38 The younger daughter also gave birth to a son and named him Ben-Ammi. ¹  He is the ancestor of the Ammonites of today.

Zefanya 2:8

2:8 “I have heard Moab’s taunts

and the Ammonites’ insults.

They ²  taunted my people

and verbally harassed those living in Judah. ³ 

[19:38]  ¹ sn The name Ben-Ammi means “son of my people.” Like the account of Moab’s birth, this story is probably included in the narrative to portray the Ammonites, another perennial enemy of Israel, in a negative light.

[2:8]  ² tn Heb “who.” A new sentence was begun here in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[2:8]  ³ tn Heb “and they made great [their mouth?] against their territory.” Other possible translation options include (1) “they enlarged their own territory” (cf. NEB) and (2) “they bragged about [the size] of their own territory.”
