| dbo:abstract | Aamu (Egyptian language: 𓂝𓄿𓅓𓅱 ꜥꜣmw) was an Egyptian name used to designate Western Asiatic foreigners in antiquity. It is generally translated as "Western Asiatic", but suggestions have been made these could be identical with the Canaanites or the Amorites. Abraham could have been related to the Western Asian people known to have visited Egypt during the second millennium BCE, such as the Aamu or Retjenu. David Rohl proposed to identify Abraham with the Aamu, well known in Egyptian sources as a people of West Asia. In Egyptian, the reading of the second aleph, when there are two consecutive alephs in a word, change to "r" or "l", so that the word Aamu, which has traditionally been suspected to mean Amorites, may actually be read "Aramu", referring to the Arameans, and associated with Abraham through the name given to his people, although one source states "Abraham the wandering Aramaean", this is based on glossing the actual expression, "a wandering Aramean was my father". Contemporary Egyptian sources from the time of the wars against the Hyksos also refer to the latter as ꜥꜣmw. Although they have left no inscriptions in their own language, some of their personal names have turned up in Egyptian records, which are a syntactical and lexical match for West Semitic dialects. An ancient Egyptian painting in the tomb of 12th Dynasty official Khnumhotep II, at Beni Hasan (c. 1900 BCE), shows a group of West Asiatic foreigners, possibly Canaanites, labelled as Aamu (ꜥꜣmw), including the leading man with a Nubian ibex labelled "Abisha the Hyksos" (𓋾𓈎𓈉 ḥḳꜣ-ḫꜣsw, Heqa-kasut for "Hyksos"). The Aamu from this relief are further labeled as being from the area of Shu, which may be identified, with some uncertainty, with the area of Moab in southern Palestine (region), around the Jordan river, or generally the southern Levant, just east of the Jordan river and the Red Sea. * Word "Aamu" (from right to left) in two Egyptian scripts, in the Procession of the Aamu, circa 1900 BCE * A more recent description of the word (left to right, 1898) * Aamu people ('𓂝𓄿𓅓𓅱' characters spread alongside each individual) in the Book of Gates (rendering) (en) Aamu (idioma egipcio: ' 𓂝𓄿𓅓𓅱' ꜥꜣmw) era un nombre egipcio utilizado para designar a los extranjeros asiáticos occidentales en la antigüedad. Generalmente se traduce como "asiático occidental", pero se han hecho sugerencias que podrían ser idénticos a las de los cananeos o amorreos. Abraham podría haber estado relacionado con la gente de Asia occidental que se sabe que visitó Egipto durante el segundo milenio a. C., como los Aamu o Retenu. David Rohl propuso identificar a Abraham con los Aamu, bien conocido en fuentes egipcias como pueblo de Asia occidental. En egipcio, la lectura del segundo aleph, cuando hay dos álefs consecutivos en una palabra, cambia a "r" o "l", de modo que la palabra Aamu, que tradicionalmente se sospecha que significa amorreo, en realidad se puede leer "Aramu", refiriéndose a los arameos, y asociado a Abraham por el nombre que se le da en la Biblia, "Abraham el arameo errante". Una pintura del antiguo Egipto en la tumba del funcionario de la XII Dinastía Jnumhotep II, en Beni Hassan (c. 1900 a. C.), muestra a un grupo de extranjeros de Asia occidental, posiblemente cananeos, etiquetados como Aamu ( ꜥꜣmw ), incluido el protagonista con un íbice nubio etiquetado como "Abisha el Hicso" (𓋾𓈎𓈉 ḥḳꜣ-ḫꜣsw, Heqa-kasut). Los Aamu de este relieve están además etiquetados como pertenecientes al área de Shu, que puede identificarse, con cierta incertidumbre, con el área de Moab en el sur de Palestina, alrededor del río Jordán, o generalmente el sur del Levante, justo al este del río Jordán y el mar Rojo. * La palabra "Aamu" (de derecha a izquierda) en dos escrituras egipcias, en la Procesión del Aamu, alrededor de 1900 a.
