Amos 9:6
_ _ stories — literally, “ascents,” that is, upper chambers, to which the ascent is by steps [Maurer]; evidently referring to the words in Psalms 104:3, Psalms 104:13. Grotius explains it, God’s royal throne, expressed in language drawn from Solomon’s throne, to which the ascent was by steps (compare 1 Kings 10:18, 1 Kings 10:19).
_ _ founded his troop — namely, all animate creatures, which are God’s troop, or host (Genesis 2:1), doing His will (Psalms 103:20, Psalms 103:21; Joel 2:11). Maurer translates, “His vault,” that is, the vaulted sky, which seems to rest on the earth supported by the horizon. |
Amos 9:6
His stories — The celestial orbs one over another, as so many stories in an high and stately palace. And he hath founded his troop in the earth: all the creatures, which are one army, one body; so closely are they connected, and so harmoniously do they all act for the accomplishing of their creator's purposes. Calleth for the waters — Either in judgment to drown, or in mercy to give rain. |
Amos 9:6
[It is] he that buildeth his (d) stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD [is] his name.
(d) He declares by the wonderful power of God, by the making of the heavens and the elements, that it is not possible for man to escape his judgments when he punishes. |
- buildeth:
Psalms 104:3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
Psalms 104:13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

- stories:
- or, spheres, Heb. ascensions, Maaloth "upper chambers," which in eastern houses are the principal apartments. Perhaps there is a reference here to the various systems which God has created in illimitable space, transcending each other as the planets do in our system.
|
- troop:
- or, bundle,
Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Aguddah probably is the same as the Arabic ijad "an arch, vault," and may here denote the vault of heaven, or atmosphere, which God "hath founded, or established, upon, or over, al the earth," and into which "he calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth."
|
- calleth:
Amos 5:8 [Seek him] that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD [is] his name:
Genesis 7:11-19 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. ... And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that [were] under the whole heaven, were covered.
Jeremiah 5:22 Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand [for] the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
|
- The LORD[YHWH]:
Amos 4:13 For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what [is] his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, [is] his name.
Exodus 3:14-15 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. ... And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this [is] my name for ever, and this [is] my memorial unto all generations.
