Comentários de Citação sobre Amós 4:6

The first questions is that when listing the troubles that will come upon the nation, the famine is listed two times. First it says "I will give you cleanness of teeth in all your cities and lack of bread in all your places yet you did not return to Me" (Amos 4:6). And after this, the propeht says "and I will also withhold from you the rain..." (Amos 4:7) And these are both telling us about the terrible famine and if so why is it told two times using the words "and I will also" like it is new thing.

הנקי, your spirit and soul will depart from your body and the body will remain without a soul. [I believe the author means that, in line with Rashi, who uses a play on words saying חנקי, “suffocate!” as the alternative to the woman being free from guilt. The verse is open ended, leaving parts to our imagination. Ed.] We know of this meaning of the word הנקי from Psalms 24,4 נקי כפים the meaning there being “without sin, totally pure.” We find this word in a similar context in Amos 4,6 נקיון שנים. We also find this expression describing someone who has been deprived of all his possessions, remaining נקי, “completely devoid of.” (Baba Kamma 41) Compare also Isaiah 3,26 ונקתה לארץ תשב, “she shall be emptied, sit on the ground.”

עדיו To Him. Comp. Am. 4:6

and she shall be emptied out Heb. ונקתה, lit., and she shall be cleansed, meaning: and she shall be emptied of everything, like (Amos 4:6): “And behold, I have given you cleanness of teeth (נִקְיוֹן שִׁנַּיִם),” [meaning hunger,] and in the language of the Mishnah; “So-and-so was cleaned out (נקי) of his belongings” (Baba Kamma 41a).
