This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
cow, i.e. woman.
at that which is before her = each woman through the breach [in the wall of Samaria].
before her i.e. without turning to the left or right. Compare Jos_6:5, Jos_6:20.
ye shall cast them into the palace. Palace, Hebrew. harmon (see note on Amo_1:4). Here it is haharmonah, which forms the Figure of speech Paronomasia (App-6) with 'arman (Amo_3:11). The clause is to be interpreted by Amo_3:11, Amo_3:12, end Amo_5:27, and would then road: "ye shall be cast forth toward Ha-Harmon". The place is not known, but it may mean "ye women who are at ease in your palaces" (arman, Amo_3:11, Amo_3:12) will be cast forth into Ha-Harmonak: into exile. The text is not necessarily "corrupt" because we do not happen to know a place of that name.
saith the LORD = is Jehovah's oracle.
the LORD. Hebrew. Jehovah. App-4.
