Amos 8:1

More Visions and Messages of Judgment

8:1 The sovereign Lord showed me this: I saw a basket of summer fruit.


tn Heb “behold” or “look.”

sn The basket of summer fruit (also in the following verse) probably refers to figs from the summer crop, which ripens in August-September. See O. Borowski, Agriculture in Iron Age Israel, 115.
