Usage: Amos is a proper noun used to refer to the prophet Amos, one of the twelve minor prophets in the Old Testament. The name Amos means "burden" or "burden-bearer," reflecting his role in delivering God's messages of judgment and hope to Israel.

Cultural and Historical Background: Amos was a prophet during the 8th century BC, a time of relative peace and prosperity in the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Despite the outward success, Amos was called by God to address the rampant social injustices, idolatry, and moral decay within the society. He was a shepherd and a dresser of sycamore figs from Tekoa, a small town in Judah, which highlights his humble origins and the divine calling that transcended social status.
