[5:24]  1 tn Traditionally, “righteousness.”

[4:8]  2 tn The words “people from” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[4:8]  3 tn Heb “to drink.”

[4:8]  4 tn Or “were not satisfied.”

[5:8]  3 tn Heb “darkens the day into night.”

[9:6]  4 tc The MT 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 מ (mem) may be dittographic (note the preceding word ends in mem). The translation assumes an emendation to עֲלִיָּתוֹ (’aliyyato, “his upper rooms”).

[9:6]  5 tn Traditionally, “vault” (so ASV, NAB, NRSV). 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 [AB], 845-46) suggest the foundational structure of a building is in view.

[9:6]  6 sn Verse 6a pictures the entire universe as a divine palace founded on the earth and extending into the heavens.

[8:11]  5 tn Heb “behold” or “look.”

[8:11]  6 tn Heb “the days are.”

[8:11]  7 tn Heb “not a hunger for food or a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of the Lord.”
