Exegesis
The final predicate nouns ḥit-tît {חִתִּית | ḥit-tît} ‘Hittite’ and ʾemorî {אֱמֹרִי | ʾe-mo-rî} ‘Amorite’ specify ethnic origins, highlighting spiritual lineage rather than national identity. English preserves the Hebrew’s repetitive parallelism through balanced clauses.
Root and etymology
“descendant of Heth”
In context — Ezekiel 16:45
You are your mother’s daughter, loathing her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite , and your father an Amorite .
