Footnotes
- 21 The reads “his steps.” If this is correct, then the reference may be to the steps leading up to the heavenly temple or the throne of God (cf. 1 Kgs 10:19–20). The prefixed ם (mem) may be dittographic (note the preceding word ends in mem). The translation assumes an emendation to עֲלִיָּתוֹ (’aliyyato, “his upper rooms”).
- 22 Traditionally, “vault” (so , , ). The precise meaning of this word in this context is unclear. Elsewhere it refers to objects grouped or held together. F. I. Andersen and D. N. Freedman (Amos [], ) suggest the foundational structure of a building is in view.
- 23 Verse 6a pictures the entire universe as a divine palace founded on the earth and extending into the heavens.
