"... The divergent reading in Amos 4.13 of χριστὸν αὐτοῦ apparently renders *משׁיחו (‘his anointed’), where the Masoretic Text has מהשׂחו (‘what is his thought’). In its immediate context, this misreading/translational choice does not reveal much about what kind of ‘anointed’ person is envisaged, whether king or priest, and whether the allusion is to past, present or future.
