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.

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.
