Verse 3
cow , i.e. woman.
at that which is before her = each woman through the breach [in the wall of Samaria].
before her i.e. without turning to the left or right. Compare Joshua 6:5 , Joshua 6:20 .
ye shall cast them into the palace . Palace, Hebrew. harmon (see note on Amos 1:4 ). Here it is haharmonah, which forms the Figure of speech Paronomasia ( App-6 ) with 'arman (Amos 3:11 ). The clause is to be interpreted by Amos 3:11 , Amos 3:12 , end Amos 5:27 , and would then road: "ye shall be cast forth toward Ha-Harmon". The place is not known, but it may mean "ye women who are at ease in your palaces" (arman, Amos 3:11 , Amos 3:12 ) will be cast forth into Ha-Harmonak: into exile. The text is not necessarily "corrupt" because we do not happen to know a place of that name.
saith the LORD = is Jehovah's oracle.
the LORD. Hebrew. Jehovah. App-4 .
