Amos 6:10
_ _ a man’s uncle — The nearest relatives had the duty of burying the dead (Genesis 25:9; Genesis 35:29; Judges 16:31). No nearer relative was left of this man than an uncle.
_ _ and he that burneth him — the uncle, who is also at the same time the one that burneth him (one of the “ten,” Amos 6:9). Burial was the usual Hebrew mode of disposing of their dead. But in cases of necessity, as when the men of Jabesh-gilead took the bodies of Saul and his three sons from the walls of Beth-shan and burned them to save them from being insulted by the Philistines, burning was practiced. So in this case, to prevent contagion.
_ _ the bones — that is, the dead body (Genesis 50:25). Perhaps here there is an allusion in the phrase to the emaciated condition of the body, which was little else but skin and bones.
_ _ say unto him that is by the sides of the house — that is, to the only one left of the ten in the interior of the house [Maurer] (compare Note, see on Isaiah 14:13).
_ _ Hold thy tongue ... we may not ... mention ... the Lord — After receiving the reply, that none is left besides the one addressed, when the man outside fancies the man still surviving inside to be on the point, as was customary, of expressing devout gratitude to God who spared him, the man outside interrupts him, “Hold thy tongue! for there is not now cause for mentioning with praise (Joshua 23:7) the name of Jehovah”; for thou also must die; as all the ten are to die to the last man (Amos 6:9; compare Amos 8:3). Formerly ye boasted in the name of Jehovah, as if ye were His peculiar people; now ye shall be silent and shudder at His name, as hostile to you, and as one from whom ye wish to be hidden (Revelation 6:16), [Calvin]. |
Amos 6:10
Uncle — Or near kinsman, instead of those who were wont to do this, and were paid for it; but now none of these remaining, the next to the dead must, as well as he is able, take him up on his shoulders, and carry him. That burneth — Though the Jews mostly buried, yet in some cases they burned the dead bodies, as in this of pestilence. The bones — The flesh being consumed, the bones are reserved to be buried. Unto him — Any one he sees near the house out of which the bones are carried. Is there yet any — Is any one living in your house. Hold thy tongue — Do not complain, lest thou thyself be killed, lest all be rifled. For — It is too late to seek God, who is executing his immutable decree. |
Amos 6:10
And a man's uncle (k) shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that [is] by the (l) sides of the house, [Is there] yet [any] with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, (m) Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.
(k) The destruction will be so great, that almost none will be left to bury the dead: and therefore they will burn them at home, to carry out the burnt ashes with more ease.
(l) That is, to some neighbour that dwells near by.
(m) They will be so astonished at this destruction, that they will not boast any more of the name of God, and that they are his people: but they will be silent when they hear God's name, and abhor it, as those that are desperate, or reprobate. |

2 Kings 23:16 And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that [were] there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned [them] upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.

Ezekiel 20:39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter [also], if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
