Amos 2:11

Context

2:11 I made some of your sons prophets

and some of your young men Nazirites.¹

Is this not true, you Israelites?”

The Lord is speaking!

Amos 3:1

Context

Every Effect has its Cause

3:1 Listen, you Israelites, to this message which the Lord is proclaiming against² you! This message is for the entire clan I brought up³ from the land of Egypt:

¹tn Or perhaps “religious devotees” (also in the following verse). The Hebrew term נָזִיר (nazir) refers to one who “consecrated” or “devoted” to God (see Num 6:1-21).

²tn Or “about.”

³tn One might expect a third person verb form (“he brought up”), since the Lord apparently refers to himself in the third person in the preceding sentence. This first person form, however, serves to connect this message to the earlier indictment (2:10) and anticipates the words of the following verse.
