Amos chapter 9 is also
interesting, as it is directly cited in the New Testament. Herein its use by
the Apostle James is clearly contingent on the universalist tendency in verse
12, as found in the Septuagint. Though this passage is witnessed to by both the
New Testament and the Septuagint, it is lacking the Masoretic Text, which rather
discusses national Israel’s takeover of the remnant of Edom. (Mikkel Søtbaek, The
Seventy-Two Servants of the Word of God: Retrieving the Septuagint as Scripture
[Ithaca, N.Y.: Just & Sinner, 2025], 175)
