The Israelite people are not referring to a specific Amorite person. They mean the Amorite people group in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “all of the peoples and the Amorites, the dwellers in the land”

אֶת־כָּל־הָעַמִּ֗ים וְאֶת־הָאֱמֹרִ֛י יֹשֵׁ֥ב הָאָ֖רֶץ
DOM all/each/any/every the,peoples and=DOM the=Emori was_sitting the=earth/land
The entire expression, all of the peoples and the Amorite, the dweller in the land refers to the same people group, the Amorites. The repetition is used for emphasis. If your language does not use repetition to do this, you could use one phrase and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “all of the Amorite peoples who were dwelling in the land!”
24:1-27 In both form and content, this statement of covenant resembled an ancient Near Eastern suzerain-vassal treaty. It begins with a preamble (24:2) and continues with a historical prologue relating the suzerain’s (God’s) gracious acts on behalf of the people (24:3-13), followed by a list of stipulations (24:14-15) and curses and blessings (24:19-20). It then notes where the text was to be deposited for periodic reading and renewal (implied, 24:26) and lists witnesses to the covenant (24:22, 27). See also study note on Exod 20:1–23:33.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
