Amos 2:10 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 2:10

Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt
Where they were bond slaves, and in great affliction and distress, and unable to help themselves; but the Lord wrought deliverance for them, and brought them out of this house of bondage with a high hand and a mighty arm: and led you forty years through the wilderness:
going before them in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night; providing them with all things necessary, with food and raiment, and protecting them from all their enemies: to possess the land of the Amorite;
the whole land of Canaan, so called from a principal nation of it.

Amos 2:10 In-Context

8 Beside every altar, they spread themselves out on clothes taken as security. In the temples of their gods, they drink the wine that they bought with fines.

9 I destroyed the Amorites in front of them, although the Amorites were as tall as cedars and as strong as oaks. I destroyed their fruit above the ground and their roots below it.

10 I brought you out of Egypt. I led you through the desert for 40 years so that you could take possession of the land of the Amorites.

11 I also sent you prophets from among your children and Nazirites from among your youths. Isn't that so, people of Israel? The LORD has declared this.

12 You made the Nazirites drink wine. You commanded the prophets to stop prophesying.
