Abstract
As I read and reflected on the traditional interpretations of Amos 9:7a, I felt that much of the information contained in modern books and articles were based upon conjecture, subjective and unsubstantiated suppositions. The sparse comments offered on this text usually lacked any annotation, thereby making it extremely difficult to ascertain the sources of their information. Being troubled by these ambiguities was the catalyst for this exegetical study of the text of Amos 9:7a.
