Why the Bible emphasizes "the iniquity of the Amorites" and not of the other tribes?

In the Bible, the phrase "the iniquity of the Amorites" is used several times to describe the sins and wickedness of the people who lived in the land of Canaan. This phrase is often emphasized above the sins of other tribes, such as the Hittites, Perizzites, and Jebusites. So why does the Bible emphasize the iniquity of the Amorites specifically?

One possible explanation is that the Amorites were the most powerful and influential tribe in the land of Canaan. They were known for their military might and their ability to conquer other tribes and nations. As a result, their sins and wickedness may have been more widespread and more damaging than those of other tribes.

Another explanation is that the Amorites were particularly resistant to the message of God and the prophets. The Bible describes them as being "stiff-necked" and unwilling to repent of their sins. This may have made them a greater obstacle to God's plan for the Israelites and the salvation of the world.

Finally, it is important to note that the phrase "the iniquity of the Amorites" is not meant to suggest that only the Amorites were guilty of sin and wickedness. The Bible is clear that all people have sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). Rather, the phrase is used to emphasize the severity of the sins of the people in Canaan and the urgency of the Israelites' mission to conquer the land and drive out the sinful inhabitants.
