1. Geographic location associated with Hebron · dominant

   The proper noun occurs in location phrases: in Genesis 13:18 the APB renders Abram settling “by the oaks of Mamre,” and in Genesis 23:19 it renders Mamre as “Hebron” in the burial-site description. Genesis 23:17, Genesis 25:9, Genesis 49:30, and Genesis 50:13 place the field or cave of Machpelah in relation to it, while Genesis 35:27 names it as the place Jacob came to.

2. Amorite ally named with Aner and Eshcol · occasional

   In Genesis 14:13 the proper noun identifies “Mamre the Amorite,” whose brothers are Eshcol and Aner and who is linked with Abram by covenant. In Genesis 14:24 it appears in the list “Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre,” the men who went with Abram and are to take their portion.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the name as “Mamre.” It places the name in geographic expressions such as “the oaks of Mamre” and “before Mamre,” but in Genesis 14:13 explicitly renders “Mamre the Amorite”.
