Read Amos 1.9-2.5. In verses 9-10: Tyre is a Phoenican city on the Mediterranean coast northwest of Israel. In verse 11-12: Edom is Israel's neighbor to the southeast and Teman and Bozrah are two of its major cities. Edom's brother may refer to either Israel or Judah (Ob 8-12). In verses 13-15: The Amonites, Israel's neighbors to the east, are accused, as is Damascus (1.3), of crimes against the Israelites in Gilead. In 2.1-3: Moab, located southeast of Israel, is accused of crimes against its southern neighbor Edom. In verse 4-5: Judah, like Israel to follow (2.6-16), is criticized not for crimes against its neighbors, but for crimes within its own society against God's law. Comments or Questions..
