Strong's Lexicon amots: Amoz Original Word: אָמֹץ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אָמַץ (amats), meaning "to be strong" or "to be courageous." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Amoz, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates the name as Ἀμώς (Amos), not to be confused with the prophet Amos. Usage: Amoz is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the father of the prophet Isaiah. The name Amoz is associated with strength and courage, reflecting the root meaning of the word. Amoz is mentioned specifically in the context of identifying Isaiah, one of the major prophets in the Old Testament. Cultural and Historical Background: Amoz lived during the 8th century BCE, a period marked by significant political and social upheaval in the ancient Near East. This era saw the rise of the Assyrian Empire, which posed a constant threat to the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. As the father of Isaiah, Amoz would have been part of a society deeply engaged with the religious and political challenges of the time. The name Amoz, meaning "strong" or "courageous," may reflect the qualities valued in leaders and prophets during this turbulent period.
