Commentary on Amos 4:3

Theological / Devotional

At the breaches. Or, “through the breaches.” Just as cattle go quickly through gaps in a fence, so would Israel go forth, in abandonment and desperation, as animals, at the time of Samaria’s fall. They would go out, each one straight ahead, either in an attempt to escape through the nearest breach or in being led forth into captivity.

Palace. Heb. harmon, the meaning of which is not known. The LXX for this last clause reads, “and ye shall be cast forth on the mountain Remman, saith the Lord.” It is difficult to know exactly what this passage means other than that it seems to point out a destination for their captivity.
