# Amaziah, the priest of Bethel

Possible meanings: 1) Amaziah was the only priest at Bethel or 2) Amaziah was the leader of the priests at Bethel.

# Amaziah

This is the name of a man. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names]])

# Amos has conspired against you in the middle of the house of Israel

"Amos is right here among the Israelites, and he is planning to do bad things to you"

# house of Israel

The word "house" is a metonym for the family that lives in the house. In this case it refers to Israel's descendants. See how you translated this in [Amos 5:1](../05/01.md). Alternate translation: "the people of Israel" or "the Israelite people group" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# The land cannot bear all his words

Here "land" represents "people." Disrupting the peace is spoken of as if Amos's words were a heavy object that the land could not carry. Alternate translation: "What his is saying disturb the peace among the people" or "His message will cause trouble among the people" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
