The sin of Adam. They inherited the sin of Adam. Nevermind the fact that the Amalekites were evil and did evil in the eyes of God.
But if you'd like to talk about genocide, I can find some quotes from the Quran of Muslims killing Jews for no reason other than they are Jewish.

that means this verse is not true
Ezekiel 18:20 ESV
The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son.
The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself,
and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

what sin or crime did the ox
and sheep,
camel
and donkey commit.
1 Samuel 15:3 ESV
Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have.
Do not spare them,
but kill both man and woman,
child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.

Do you understand how translation works?
If you translate something from Arabic to English, and someone else translates the same thing, there is a good chance you might not use the exact same words.
That's all this is. It's different translators using different words. It does not change the meaning of the words.
The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son.
The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself,
and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

Do you realize the context of Ezekiel 18:20? That was thousands of years after Adam and Eve. He was speaking to the Jewish people living in Babylon in exile. He was giving a message of hope -- that God would bring them back to the promised land.
This has nothing to do with the original sin of Adam.

The same crime that the cow committed from which I had a steak last night. It's an animal. It had to die so I could eat a steak.
Why do you continue to dishonor your prophet? You continue to question Scripture and show that you do not understand it.

yes you are correct they both translated the same verse.
but the below verse no way was traslated from the same verse
at least for someone who make his conscience the judge

For there are three that bear record in heaven,
the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one.
killing and burning innocent sons and daughters is not true verse
Joshua 7:25 NLT
Then Joshua said to Achan, 'Why have you brought trouble on us?
The Lord will now bring trouble on you.'
And all the Israelites stoned Achan and his family and burned their bodies.
