Gill's Notes on the Bible
Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel,.... The prophecy against Israel begins in the preceding chapter, where notice is taken of their sins, at least some of them, and of their aggravated circumstances, and sure destruction; and here they are called upon to hearken and listen to what the Lord by his prophet had spoken, and was about to speak unto them; and to "receive" this word, as the Targum; to receive it as the word of God, and not men, and with all humility and reverence; and to take it, and apply it to themselves, to whom it justly belonged; and to make a proper use and improvement of it by humiliation and reformation. A word this was,
against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt; it was but a family that went down into Egypt, and, though it greatly increased there, it was no more when it was brought up from thence: a family under the peculiar care of Jehovah, as the bringing them out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, when greatly distressed there, abundantly shows; and which was a wonderful blessing and favour; and therefore often mentioned, and led on to many other blessings and mercies: a family which was the Lord's own, and therefore he had a right to chastise and correct them for their sins. It seems by this phrase, "the whole family", as if the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin were included: though the prophecy seems chiefly intended against the ten tribes, which went by the name of Israel, ever since the breach in Rehoboam's time, as distinct from Judah;
saying; as follows:
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Amos, like Hosea, rebukes Israel directly, Judah indirectly. He had warned each nation separately. Now, ere he concentrates himself on Israel, he sums up what he had before said to Judah and in the Person of God. “Ye have been alike in My gifts to you, alike in your waste of them and your sins; alike ye shall be in your punishment.” What was said to Israel was said also to Judah: what was directed first to the former people, belongs to us, the later. What Jesus said to the Apostles, He said also to the Church, and to single souls, “What I say unto you, I say unto all, Watch” Mark 13:37.
Hear ye this word - With that solemn threefold call, so frequent in the Old Testament, he summons them thrice Amos 3:1; Amos 4:1; Amos 5:1, as in the Name of the Holy Trinity, to hear God’s words. : “The prophet, at the outset of the chapter, rouses the hearers to anxious consideration. For the words of the most High God are to be heard, not with a superficial, unawed, wandering mind, but with reverence, fear, and love.”
That the Lord hath spoken against - (and upon) you, (coming down from heaven Hebrews 12:25, both “upon” and “against” them) the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt To Abraham God had said, “in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed” Genesis 12:3. So now, in withdrawing that blessing from them. He takes it away from them, family by family Zechariah 12:12. He includes them, one and all, and Judah also, since all had been “brought out of Egypt.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER III
This chapter begins with reproving the twelve tribes in
general, 1, 2;
and then particularly the kingdom of Israel, whose capital was
Samaria. Thee prophet assures them that, while they were at
variance with God, it would be unreasonable in them to expect
his presence or favour, 3-8.
Other neighbouring nations are then called upon to take warning
from the judgments about to be inflicted upon the house of
Israel, which would be so general that only a small remnant
should escape them, 9-15.
The image used by the prophet on this occasion, (see Amos 3:12,)
and borrowed from his former calling, is very natural and
significant, and not a little dignified by the inspired
writer's lofty air and manner.
NOTES ON CHAP. III
Verse Amos 3:1. Against the whole family — That is, all, both the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. In this all the twelve tribes are included.
