What does the Bible say about the iniquity of the Amorites?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that the iniquity of the Amorites was not yet full, meaning God withheld judgment until their sin reached a certain point (Genesis 15:16).

In Genesis 15:16, God tells Abraham that his descendants would be strangers in a foreign land until the iniquity of the Amorites was full. This indicates that God holds nations accountable for their sin but is also patient, allowing time for repentance before enacting judgment. The Amorites were judged and their land was taken when their wickedness had reached a climax, demonstrating a principle of divine justice seen throughout Scripture.
