V CHICAGO thk r\iVKi:snv OP chicaoo PBBBG 1904 Copyright 1904 BY THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRKFATOKY NOTE A\ effort lias been made in the paper that follows to present the text of Amos with Bpecial reference to i 1 i its strophie structure; i 2 i the separation <>f later addi- tions; (8) such modifications of the text as a conservative criticism would approve. The justification of the modifications here presented and of the divisions sugg is furnished in the author's Amos and Hosea ("Internationa] Critical Commentary," 1904 |, where will !»■ found also a presentation of the views of others upon the logical or Btrophic structure. The general scheme of Amos, as given here, was first presented in The Biblical World, Vol. XI 1 i L898), pp. 86 S9, 179 182, 251 25fl 138. In those cases of verbal modification which are supported by other students of the text the principal authorities have been cited. Tin- translation is intended to follow closely the Hebrew idiom, and. inasmuch as it was important to have it correspond line for line, the idiom is sometimes, perhaps, more Hebraic than Engl i ah. The original text of the prophecy is printed in large type, explanatory glosses and other later additions being iii small type on the margin. The place of the gloss in the Massoretic text is indicated by a star (*), except (o) where the gloss is an entire clause, or verse, and therefore receives a verse number as in the main text, and (6) within later additions where the glosses are inclosed in parentheses. Square brackets are employed to indicate words or phrases supposed to have been lost from the Massoretic text. The following abbreviations are employed: ^RiT The Massoretic text <8 = The Septuagint version. 17 = The Vulgate, (g = The Targum. §> The Peahitto.
