The word may have been present throughout the Canaanite languages: the word is unknown in Old Testament Hebrew, but has been found in the Qumran documents; post-biblical Hebrew attests to māmōn; and, according to St Augustine of Hippo, Punic included the word mammon 'profit'.
Kata itu mungkin ada di seluruh bahasa Kanaan: kata itu tidak dikenal dalam bahasa Ibrani Perjanjian Lama, tetapi telah ditemukan dalam dokumen-dokumen Qumran; bahasa Ibrani pasca-Alkitab membuktikan māmōn; dan, menurut St Augustine of Hippo, Punic memasukkan kata mammon 'untung'.
