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.)
