AMMI (‘my people’). The name to be applied to Israel in the time of restoration. It is to take the place of Lo-ammi (= ‘not my people’), the name given in the first instance by Hosea to Gomer’s third child, but in the prophetic fragment, Hosea 1:9-11 [in Hebrews 2:1-3 ], referred to the people of Israel.
