NETBible

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “behold” or “look.”

²tn Heb “the days are.”

³sn The plowman will catch up to the reaper. Plowing occurred in October-November, and harvesting in April-May (see P. King, Amos, Hosea, Micah, 109.) But in the future age of restored divine blessing, there will be so many crops the reapers will take all summer to harvest them, and it will be time for plowing again before the harvest is finished.

⁴sn When the grapes had been harvested, they were placed in a press where workers would stomp on them with their feet and squeeze out the juice. For a discussion of grape harvesting technique, see O. Borowski, Agriculture in Iron Age Israel, 110-12.

⁵tn The verb is omitted here in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation from the parallel line.

⁶sn The grape harvest occurred in August-September, planting in November-December (see P. King, Amos, Hosea, Micah, 109). But in the future age described here there will be so many grapes the workers who stomp them will still be working when the next planting season arrives.

⁷tn Or “hills,” where the vineyards were planted.

⁸tn Heb “and all the hills will melt.”
