(1) The words of Amos, a sheep breeder from Tekoa, who prophesied concerning Israel in the reigns of Kings Uzziah of Judah and Jeroboam son of Joash of Israel, two years before the earthquake.athe earthquake See Zech. 14.5.
(ח) עֹשֵׂ֨ה כִימָ֜ה וּכְסִ֗יל וְהֹפֵ֤ךְ לַבֹּ֙קֶר֙ צַלְמָ֔וֶת וְי֖וֹם לַ֣יְלָה הֶחְשִׁ֑יךְ הַקּוֹרֵ֣א לְמֵֽי־הַיָּ֗ם וַֽיִּשְׁפְּכֵ֛ם עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הָאָ֖רֶץ יְהֹוָ֥ה שְׁמֽוֹ׃
(8) Who made the Pleiades and Orion,
Who turns deep darkness into dawn
And darkens day into night,
Who summons the waters of the sea
And pours them out upon the earth—
Whose name is GOD !
Who turns deep darkness into dawn
And darkens day into night,
Who summons the waters of the sea
And pours them out upon the earth—
Whose name is GOD !
Rabbi Elazar noted that it says "summons the waters of the sea" both here and in Amos 9:6. Why? Once for the generation of the Flood and once for the generation of Enosh. (Bereshit Rabbah 5:6).
(ו) הַבּוֹנֶ֤ה בַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ מַעֲלוֹתָ֔ו וַאֲגֻדָּת֖וֹ עַל־אֶ֣רֶץ יְסָדָ֑הּ הַקֹּרֵ֣א לְמֵֽי־הַיָּ֗ם וַֽיִּשְׁפְּכֵ֛ם עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הָאָ֖רֶץ יְהֹוָ֥ה שְׁמֽוֹ׃ {פ}
(6) Who built the chambers in heaven
And founded the vault on the earth,
Who summons the waters of the sea
And pours them over the land—
Whose name is GOD.
And founded the vault on the earth,
Who summons the waters of the sea
And pours them over the land—
Whose name is GOD.
Rabbi Elazar noted that it says "summons the waters of the sea" both here and in Amos 5:8. Why? Once for the generation of the Flood and once for the generation of Enosh. (Bereshit Rabbah 5:6).
