OET (OET-RV) “I am not a prophet,” Amos answered the priest. “Nor am I a prophet’s son, because I’m a herdsman, plus I take care of an orchard.

This here probably means “one who takes care of sheep” since he is called a “shepherd” in [Amos 1:1](../01/01.md).

(Occurrence 0) sycamore fig trees

Sycamores are broad trees that grow up to 15 meters tall. Alternate translation: “fig trees”
7:14 Amos was not a professional prophet or even a disciple in training. He had no financial incentive to leave his livelihood in order to prophesy.
• shepherd: The Hebrew word here is not the same as in 1:1 and is not found elsewhere in the Old Testament. It is related to a word for cattle, suggesting that Amos may have raised cattle as a breeder or herder (see Amos Book Introduction, “The Prophet Amos”).
• The sycamore-fig was gathered for cattle feed.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
