Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 4:6

"And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places; yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.""Cleanness of teeth ..." If there is nothing to eat, one has no difficulty keeping his teeth clean; they stay clean! As Jamieson put it, "Where there is no food to masticate, the teeth are free of uncleanness."[23] This is not the only place in the Bible where cleanness is made to stand for something else. "Where no oxen are, the crib is clean"... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 4:7

"And I also have withholden, the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered."The disaster in view here is that of drought. The ultimate authority and power for sending either rain or drought is resident not in men but in God. Man finds it absolutely impossible to predict weather even for periods that lie immediately in... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Amos 4:6

Amos 4:6. And I also have given— For this cause have I given, &c. "The famine which I have sent upon the cities and territories of Israel, has not brought you to a sense of your sins, or any sincere purposes of amendment." The famine alluded to is recorded 2 Kings 8:1. See Calmet. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Amos 4:7-8

Amos 4:7-8. And also I have withholden the rain— These verses apparently refer to the withholding of those rains which filled their reservoirs of water for drinking; and our translators should have used the term dried up, as they did in translating the same word, Job 14:11 instead of withered. It is not to be supposed that their wheat harvest was delayed to the close of July. At present at Aleppo, barley harvest commences about the beginning of May, and the wheat harvest, as well as that, is... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Amos 4:6

6-11. Jehovah details His several chastisements inflicted with a view to reclaiming them: but adds to each the same sad result, "yet have ye not returned unto Me" (Isaiah 9:13; Jeremiah 5:3; Hosea 7:10); the monotonous repetition of the same burden marking their pitiable obstinacy. cleanness of teeth—explained by the parallel, "want of bread." The famine alluded to is that mentioned in 2 Kings 8:1 [GROTIUS]. Where there is no food to masticate, the teeth are free from uncleanness, but it is the... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Amos 4:6

The Lord had brought famine throughout the land to warn His people about their disobedience and His displeasure, but this judgment did not move them to repent (cf. 1 Kings 8:37-39). They had made an idol of the sacrificial system. Famine was one of the curses that God said He might bring if His people proved unfaithful to His covenant (Leviticus 26:26; Leviticus 26:29; Deuteronomy 28:17; Deuteronomy 28:48). read more

He had also sent drought when the people needed rain the most, three months before their harvest. He had let rain fall on one town but not another resulting in only spotty productivity (cf. 1 Kings 8:35). This too should have moved them to repent. Drought was also a punishment for covenant unfaithfulness (Leviticus 26:19; Deuteronomy 28:22-24; Deuteronomy 28:48). read more
