Amos 9:13
_ _ the days come — at the future restoration of the Jews to their own land.
_ _ ploughman shall overtake ... reaper ... treader of grapes him that soweth — fulfilling Leviticus 26:5. Such shall be the abundance that the harvest and vintage can hardly be gathered before the time for preparing for the next crop shall come. Instead of the greater part of the year being spent in war, the whole shall be spent in sowing and reaping the fruits of earth. Compare Isaiah 65:21-23, as to the same period.
_ _ soweth seed — literally, “draweth it forth,” namely, from the sack in order to sow it.
_ _ mountains ... drop sweet wine — an appropriate image, as the vines in Palestine were trained on terraces at the sides of the hills. |
Amos 9:13
Behold the days come — Here is another promise literally of abundant plenty to the returned captives, and mystically of abundant grace poured forth in gospel — days. The plowman — Who breaks up the ground, and prepares it for sowing, shall be ready to tread on the heels of the reaper who shall have a harvest so large, that before he can gather it all in, it shall be time to plow the ground again. The treader of grapes — So great shall their vintage be that e'er the treaders of grapes can have finished their work, the seeds — man shall be sowing his seed against the next season. Shall drop — The vineyards shall be so fruitful, and new wine so plentiful as if it ran down from the mountains. Shall melt — Or, as if whole hills were melted into such liquors. If any object, it never was so: I answer, the sins of the returned captives prevented these blessings, which are promised under a tacit condition. |
Amos 9:13
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall (l) overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall (m) drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
(l) Signifying, that there will be great abundance of all things, so that when one type of fruit is ripe, another would follow, and every one in order; (Leviticus 26:5).
(m) Read (Joel 3:18). |
- plowman:
Leviticus 26:5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to [them which were] not my people, Thou [art] my people; and they shall say, [Thou art] my God.
John 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
