Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Temple.--The word thus rendered (hechal) also signifies "palace," and this is probably the meaning in this passage. The "songs" have been already spoken of in Amos 6:5. The construction of the following clauses in the original is somewhat doubtful. Some commentators would break up the sentence into abrupt ejaculations. Thus Keil:--"corpses in multitude; in every place he hath cast them forth: Hush!" For "he hath cast," some would read (with 2 Heb. MSS.) the imperative, "cast them forth." But it would be better, and more in consonance with the style of Amos, to connect the clauses together thus: There shall be many corpses in every place that one hath cast away in hushed silence. The words describe the reign of death and doom, with none to bury or make lamentation--a full end.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrew“In thatהַה֔וּא (ha·hū)Article | Pronoun - third person masculine singularStrong's 1931: He, self, the same, this, that, as, areday,”בַּיּ֣וֹם (bay·yō·wm)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3117: A daydeclaresנְאֻ֖ם (nə·’um)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 5002: An oraclethe Lordאֲדֹנָ֣י (’ă·ḏō·nāy)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 136: The LordGOD,יְהוִ֑ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel“the songsשִׁיר֤וֹת (šî·rō·wṯ)Noun - feminine plural constructStrong's 7892: A song, singingof the templeהֵיכָל֙ (hê·ḵāl)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1964: A large public building, palace, templewill turn to wailing.וְהֵילִ֜ילוּ (wə·hê·lî·lū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 3213: To howl, make a howlingManyרַ֣ב (raḇ)Adjective - masculine singularStrong's 7227: Much, many, great[will be] the corpses,הַפֶּ֔גֶר (hap·pe·ḡer)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 6297: A carcase, an idolatrous imagestrewnהִשְׁלִ֥יךְ (hiš·lîḵ)Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7993: To throw out, down, awayin silenceהָֽס׃ (hās)InterjectionStrong's 2013: Hush! keep silence!everywhere!”בְּכָל־ (bə·ḵāl)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everyJump to PreviousBodies Cast Corpses Cries Dead Declares Everywhere Flung Forth Great House Howled Howlings King's Pain Palace Silence Songs Songstresses Sovereign Temple Throw Turn Wailing Word
