Amos 2:10
Context2:10 I brought you up from the land of Egypt;
I led you through the wilderness for forty years
so you could take the Amorites’ land as your own.
Exodus 12:51
Context12:51 And on this very day the Lord brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their regiments.
Hosea 12:13
Context12:13 The Lord brought Israel out of Egypt by a prophet,
[12:13] 1 tn Heb “by a prophet” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).
[12:13] 2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Israel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[12:13] 3 tn Heb “was protected”; NASB “was kept.” The verb שָׁמַר (shamar, “to watch, guard, keep, protect”) is repeated in 12:13-14 HT (12:12-13 ET). This repetition creates parallels between Jacob’s sojourn in Aram and Israel’s sojourn in the wilderness. Jacob “tended = kept” (שָׁמַר) sheep in Aram, and Israel was “preserved = kept” (נִשְׁמָר, nishmar) by Moses in the wilderness.
