Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Structure of the Text of the Book of Amos AN effort has been made in the paper that follows to present the text of Amos with special reference to (1) its strophic structure; (2) the separation of later addi tions; (3) such modifications of the text as a conservative criticism would approve. The justification of the modifications here presented and of the divisions suggested is furnished in the author's Amos and Hosea (international Critical Commentary, where will be found also a presentation of the views of others upon the logical or strophic structure. The general scheme of Amos, as given here, was first presented in The Biblical World, Vol. XII pp. 86-89, 179 - 182, 251 - 256, 333 - 338. In those cases of verbal modification which are supported by other students of the text the principal authorities have been cited. The 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 English. The original text of the prophecy is printed in large type, explanatory glosses and other later additions being in small type on the margin. The place of the gloss in the Massoretic text is indicated by a star except (a) where the gloss is an entire clause, or verse, and therefore receives a verse number as in the main text, and (b) 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.
