An Aramaic word for wealth or money — Jesus personifies it as a rival god in Matthew 6:24
"You cannot serve God and mammon." Jesus uses the term as if mammon were a competing deity demanding allegiance. The point is not that money is evil but that it functions as a master — and you can only have one. The KJV preserved the Aramaic; modern translations usually render it "money" or "wealth," which loses some of the personification.
