The Book of Amos, Chapter 2עמוס 2

Each verse opens with the running Hebrew, an English translation, and a discourse note (its connective, relation, and role in the argument). Below follows the word-by-word breakdown in six tiers: gloss, case/state or parsing, syntax, semantic force, and a lexical note.

Case Nominative Genitive Dative Accusative Vocative Verb (no case) Indeclinable

Discourse notes head each verse: relation · connective · clause-flow. Indentation marks prominence — flush-left = main line of argument; indented = supporting / subordinate material.

Theme

Amos 2 (16 verses in the MT) opens: Thus says YHWH; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime: The middle of the chapter continues: Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height like the height of the cedars, and he strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath. It closes: And courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, says YHWH.

Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite. And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of. Movement IV (vv. 13-16) — Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed full of sheaves. Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed full of sheaves. Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself: Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and swift of foot shall not deliver : neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.
