(strength, fatness), an ancient Amorite, who with his brothers, Eshcol and Aner, was in alliance with Abram (Genesis 14:13, 24), and under the shade of whose oak grove the patriarch dwelt in the interval between his residence at Bethel and at Beersheba (Genesis 13:18; 18:1). In the subsequent chapters Mamre is a mere local appellation (Genesis 23:17, 19; 25:9; 49:30; 50:13).
