Footnotes

  1. 11 Heb “and [through the] breaches you will go out, each straight ahead.”
  2. 12 The Hiphil verb form has no object. It may be intransitive (F. I. Andersen and D. N. Freedman, Amos [], ), though many emend it to a Hophal.
  3. 13 The meaning of this word is unclear. Many understand it as a place name, though such a location is not known. Some (e.g., H. W. Wolff, Joel and Amos [Hermeneia[, ) emend to “Hermon” or to similarly written words, such as “the dung heap” (, ), “the garbage dump” (), or “the fortress” (cf. “your fortresses”).
