Amos 1

I see I did some initial work on Amos 21 months ago. I remember learning about the differing manuscripts and so on. At that time, I did not know I could really complete the music as I finally have in September of this year. Verses 6 and 9 are different. (JB translates them identically. NIV distinguishes the two with a clear interpretation by adding the word communities. NIV overlaps and extends the stem סגר, prison, to include the idea of selling מכר.)

Amos 1 Fn Min Max Syll
דִּבְרֵ֣י עָמ֔וֹס אֲשֶׁר־הָיָ֥ה בַנֹּקְדִ֖ים מִתְּק֑וֹעַ
אֲשֶׁר֩ חָזָ֨ה עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל בִּימֵ֣י ׀ עֻזִיָּ֣ה‪‬ מֶֽלֶךְ־יְהוּדָ֗ה וּבִימֵ֞י יָרָבְעָ֤ם בֶּן־יוֹאָשׁ֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל שְׁנָתַ֖יִם לִפְנֵ֥י הָרָֽעַשׁ
1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdsfolk from Tekoa,
which he gazed on over Israel in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, child of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the quake.
3e 4C 14
40
וַיֹּאמַ֓ר יְהוָה֙ מִצִיּ֣וֹן יִשְׁאָ֔ג וּמִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם יִתֵּ֣ן קוֹל֑וֹ
וְאָֽבְלוּ֙ נְא֣וֹת הָרֹעִ֔ים וְיָבֵ֖שׁ רֹ֥אשׁ הַכַּרְמֶֽל
2 And he said, Yahweh out of Zion roars, and from Jerusalem he gives his voice,
and the haunts of the shepherds will lament, and the top of Carmel will dry up.
3e 4B 19
15
כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה עַל־שְׁלֹשָׁה֙ פִּשְׁעֵ֣י דַמֶּ֔שֶׂק וְעַל־אַרְבָּעָ֖ה לֹ֣א אֲשִׁיבֶ֑נּוּ
עַל־דּוּשָׁ֛ם בַּחֲרֻצ֥וֹת הַבַּרְזֶ֖ל אֶת־הַגִּלְעָֽד

and it will devour the citadels of Benhadad.

וְגָל֧וּ עַם אֲרָ֛ם קִ֖ירָה אָמַ֥ר יְהוָֽה

And the people of Aram will be exiled towards Qyr, says Yahweh.
