The Book of AMOS - Chapter One

 The Book of AMOS

Overview

(The Bible Project)

1 The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa – the vision he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake, when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash was king of Israel.

2 He said:

‘The Lord roars from Zion
    and thunders from Jerusalem;
the pastures of the shepherds dry up,
    and the top of Carmel withers.’

3 This is what the Lord says:

‘For three sins of Damascus,

    even for four, I will not relent.

Because she threshed Gilead

    with sledges having iron teeth,

4 

I will send fire on the house of Hazael

    that will consume the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.

5 

I will break down the gate of Damascus;

    I will destroy the king who is in the Valley of Aven

and the one who holds the sceptre in Beth Eden.

    The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,’

says the Lord. 

6 This is what the Lord says:

‘For three sins of Gaza,

    even for four, I will not relent.

Because she took captive whole communities

    and sold them to Edom,

7 

I will send fire on the walls of Gaza

    that will consume her fortresses.

8 

I will destroy the king of Ashdod

    and the one who holds the sceptre in Ashkelon.

I will turn my hand against Ekron,

    till the last of the Philistines are dead,’

says the Sovereign Lord.

9 This is what the Lord says:

‘For three sins of Tyre,

    even for four, I will not relent.

Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom,

    disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,

10 

I will send fire on the walls of Tyre

    that will consume her fortresses.’

11 This is what the Lord says:

‘For three sins of Edom,

    even for four, I will not relent.

Because he pursued his brother with a sword

    and slaughtered the women of the land,

because his anger raged continually

    and his fury flamed unchecked,

12 

I will send fire on Teman

    that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah.’

13 This is what the Lord says:

‘For three sins of Ammon,

    even for four, I will not relent.

Because he ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead

    in order to extend his borders,

14 

I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah

    that will consume her fortresses

amid war cries on the day of battle,

    amid violent winds on a stormy day.

15 

Her king will go into exile,

    he and his officials together,’

says the Lord.

The Book of NUMBERS - Chapter Thirty Six

1The family heads of the clan of Gilead son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, who were from the clans of the descendants of Joseph, came and spoke before Moses and the leaders, the heads of the Israelite families. 2 They said, ‘When the Lord commanded my lord to give the land as an inheritance to the Israelites by lot, he ordered you to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters. 3 Now suppose they marry men from other Israelite tribes; then their inheritance will be taken from our ancestral inheritance and added to that of the tribe they marry into. And so part of the inheritance allotted to us will be taken away. 4 When the Year of Jubilee for the Israelites comes, their inheritance will be added to that of the tribe into which they marry, and their property will be taken from the tribal inheritance of our ancestors.’

5 Then at the Lord’s command Moses gave this order to the Israelites: ‘What the tribe of the descendants of Joseph is saying is right. 6 This is what the Lord commands for Zelophehad’s daughters: they may marry anyone they please as long as they marry within their father’s tribal clan. 7 No inheritance in Israel is to pass from one tribe to another, for every Israelite shall keep the tribal inheritance of their ancestors. 8 Every daughter who inherits land in any Israelite tribe must marry someone in her father’s tribal clan, so that every Israelite will possess the inheritance of their ancestors. 9 No inheritance may pass from one tribe to another, for each Israelite tribe is to keep the land it inherits.’

10 So Zelophehad’s daughters did as the Lord commanded Moses. 11 Zelophehad’s daughters – Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milkah and Noah – married their cousins on their father’s side. 12 They married within the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in their father’s tribe and clan.

13 These are the commands and regulations the Lord gave through Moses to the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho.
