וָאָקִ֤ים מִבְּנֵיכֶם֙ לִנְבִיאִ֔ים וּמִבַּחוּרֵיכֶ֖ם לִנְזִרִ֑ים הַאַ֥ף אֵֽין־זֹ֛את בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃
Aku telah membangkitkan sebagian dari anak-anakmu menjadi nabi, dan sebagian dari pemuda-pemudamu menjadi orang-orang nazir. Bukankah memang demikian, hai bani Israel? firman Yang Mahakekal.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“I raised up prophets from among your sons and nazirites from among your young men” [2:11]. I did another favor for Israel; I made prophets out of your children. Even those young men who used to go after worldly pleasures, I gave the idea into their hearts that that each one of them should become a nazirite who drinks no wine.5Radak, Amos, 2:11.
Rashi
as Nazirites—Jonathan renders: as teachers. For they were separated from the ways of the people of the land and were engaged in the Torah. The expression נְזִירָה is everywhere only an expression of separation.
Rashi
Is this not so?—This is a rhetorical question. I.e, can you deny this?
