2 | Women being called 'cows'? | Amos 4:1 | Hank | 9530 | ||
What an indelicate question, Nolan -- there are ladies present :-) But yes, sure enough, cows is what Amos calls the women of Samaria who lived luxurious lives. He was comparing the upper-class women to the best breed of cattle in Canaan, which were pampered and given the run of the best pastures. Whether by his odd metaphor Amos meant to flatter or insult these women is not certain. And Scripture doesn't reveal what the women thought of being called cows. I considered asking my wife what she thought about this passage but later decided I'd better not take the risk! --Hank | ||||||
