TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) herdsman

(Some words not found in UHB: and,answered ʼĀmōʦ and=he/it_said to/towards Amaziah not prophet I and=not son_of prophet I that/for/because/then/when herdsman I and,took_care_of sycamore_figs )

This here probably means “one who takes care of sheep” since he is called a “shepherd” in Amos 1:1.

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

(Occurrence 0) sycamore fig trees

(Some words not found in UHB: and,answered ʼĀmōʦ and=he/it_said to/towards Amaziah not prophet I and=not son_of prophet I that/for/because/then/when herdsman I and,took_care_of sycamore_figs )

Sycamores are broad trees that grow up to 15 meters tall. Alternate translation: “fig trees”
