阿摩司书 1:11 RCUVSS

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Amos 1:1-15

1:1-2:16 JUDGMENTS ON VARIOUS NATIONSIt seems that Amos announced most, if not all, of his message in Bethel, an important religious and commercial centre near Israel’s southern border (see 7:10). He gained the attention of his audience by first announcing God’s judgment on Israel’s neighbours. This news no doubt pleased his hearers, but for Amos it was part of his build-up to the climax, which announced God’s judgment on Israel.The first three nations that Amos condemned were foreign nations... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 1:11

"Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath forever.Having dealt with three pagan neighbors of Israel, Amos here moved to address his prophecy of punishment to three pagan relatives of Israel, namely, Edom, Moab, and Ammon. The Edomites were descended from Esau, the brother of Jacob, and were... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Amos 1:11

11. Edom . . . did pursue his brother— (Isaiah 34:5). The chief aggravation to Edom's violence against Israel was that they both came from the same parents, Isaac and Rebekah (compare Genesis 25:24-26; Deuteronomy 23:7; Deuteronomy 23:8; Obadiah 1:10; Obadiah 1:12; Malachi 1:2). cast off all pity—literally, "destroy compassions," that is, did suppress all the natural feeling of pity for a brother in distress. his wrath for ever—As Esau kept up his grudge against Jacob, for having twice... read more

II. PROPHETIC MESSAGES THAT AMOS DELIVERED 1:3-6:14The Book of Amos consists of words (oracles, Amos 1:3 to Amos 6:14) and visions (chs. 7-9), though these sections also contain short sub-sections of other types of material. read more

A. Oracles against nations 1:3-2:16An oracle is a message of judgment. Amos proceeded to deliver eight of these, seven against Israel’s neighbors, including Judah (Amos 1:3 to Amos 2:5), and one against Israel (Amos 2:6 to Amos 6:14). The order is significant. The nations mentioned first were foreign, but those mentioned next were the blood relatives of the Israelites, and Judah was its closest kin. Upon hearing this list the Israelites would have felt "a noose of judgment about to tighten... read more

4. An oracle against Edom 1:11-12Amos next moved from addressing chief cities to addressing countries, specifically countries with closer ethnic ties to the Israelites. Perhaps their closer relationship to Israel is why he mentioned countries rather than cities in the introductions to the later oracles.Edom’s overflowing sin that brought divine wrath down on its people was the way the Edomites had treated the Israelites. The Edomites had been very hostile to their "brother," Israel (cf. Genesis... read more

CURSE ON EDOM.(11) Edom.—Comp. the prophecy of Obadiah and Isaiah 34:5. See also Dict. of the Bible, art. “Edom.” All through their history Edom sided with the enemies of Israel. (Comp. 1 Samuel 14:47; 2 Samuel 8:14; Psalms 60:9; and 2 Chronicles 21:8-10.)Cast Off.—It would be better to render stifled. In the following clause read “And his indignation rended continually, and his wrath lurked ever on the watch.” But another punctuation of the Hebrew original yields a different sense. “As for his... read more

The Prophet Amos Amos 1:1 To estimate the Prophets' message we must consider something of the times in which they lived and the circumstances under which they spoke. Let us do so in the case of the Prophet Amos, from whose writings our lessons for Today are taken. You will notice as you study the prophetical books of the Old Testament that in almost every case the writing opens with a short description of the writer and precise mention of the time during which his witness was given. I. The... read more
