| Summary: | At first sight, Amos 5:13 interrupts the prophetic discourse in Amos 5. Many scholars read 5:13 as a wisdom text that is added by a late redactor. Basic to this view is the interpretation of the noun maśkîl as a "sage" and the translation of the verb dāmam with "to be silent". To both assumptions, I will formulate an alternative: maśkîl is not necessarily connected to a wisdom context and the verb dāmam should in this verse be rendered with "to moan". By implication, Amos 5:13 should not be construed as a later addition but seen as an organic part of Amos 5:1-17. |
