Person
Amoz
father of Isaiah
Father of the prophet Isaiah, named in the book's superscription and in the historical books solely to identify his son's lineage.
Who or what is this?
Amoz is known in Scripture solely as the father of the prophet . The book of Isaiah opens with the words 'The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz' (Isaiah 1:1), and his name recurs in the superscriptions of Isaiah's oracles and in the historical narratives of 2 Kings 19–20 and 2 Chronicles 26, 32, where Isaiah is consistently identified as 'the son of Amoz.' Nothing further is recorded about Amoz himself; his significance is entirely as the identifying mark of his son's lineage.
