Amos 7:14 (King James Version)
Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
- neither
- 1 Kings 20:35 ; 2 Kings 2:3 2 Kings 2:5 2 Kings 2:7 ; 4:38 6:1 2 Chronicles 16:7 ; 19:2 20:34
- an herdman
- 1:1 Zechariah 13:5 ; 1 Corinthians 1:27
- a gatherer
- Rather, as {bolais} is rendered by the LXX. and Vulgate, [knizon,] {vellicans,} "a scraping," or a scraper of
- sycamores; for the fruit does not ripen till it is rubbed with iron combs.* sycamore fruit or, wild figs.
