OET interlinear AMOS 1:9

uW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) For three sins of … even for four

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in three transgressions_of Tsor/(Tyre) and,on four not I,will_revoke_it on/upon they,delivered_up community_of_exiles whole to,Edom and=not remember covenant_of brotherhood )

This is a poetic device. It does not mean that a specific number of sins had been committed, but indicates that many sins had led to God’s judgment. See how you translated these words in Amos 1:3.

(Occurrence 0) Tyre

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in three transgressions_of Tsor/(Tyre) and,on four not I,will_revoke_it on/upon they,delivered_up community_of_exiles whole to,Edom and=not remember covenant_of brotherhood )

Here “Tyre” represents the people of the city of Tyre. Alternate translation: [the people of Tyre]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

(Occurrence 0) I will not turn away punishment

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in three transgressions_of Tsor/(Tyre) and,on four not I,will_revoke_it on/upon they,delivered_up community_of_exiles whole to,Edom and=not remember covenant_of brotherhood )

Yahweh uses two negatives here to emphasize that he would punish them. See how you translated these words in Amos 1:3.

(Occurrence 0) their covenant of brotherhood

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in three transgressions_of Tsor/(Tyre) and,on four not I,will_revoke_it on/upon they,delivered_up community_of_exiles whole to,Edom and=not remember covenant_of brotherhood )

Alternate translation: [the agreement they made to treat you as brothers]
