Pere,

So then how do you translate Am3:3 which "shares the root"

2. Only you have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will 
punish you for all your iniquities.
3. Can two walk together, unless they are in agreement?

This translation comes from Judaic Classics - it is not my own.  Clearly the 
context suggests that there is a prob;em / issue between G-d and Yisrael.  This 
is not about making an appointment. This is about be able to work together.
 This clearly does not mean "except they were summoned to meet?” as Karl 
suggests.

David,
 
Karl is right: no meaning "to endure with / tolerate" in Am 3:3.
 
I see no relation between this Niphal (Am 3:3) and the word in Ex 21:8 (unless, 
of course, that they share the root).
 
For the pattern of the word in Am 3:3 look also at Ez 26:19 (root ya$ab) and Ps 
77:20 (root yada')
 
Greetings
