Obadiah 20-21
Contemporary English Version
20 Those who return from captivity
will control Phoenicia
as far as Zarephath.[a]
Captives from Jerusalem
who were taken to Sepharad[b]
will capture the towns
of the Southern Desert.
21 Those the Lord has saved
will live on Mount Zion
and rule over Edom.[c]
Then the kingdom will belong
to the Lord.
Footnotes
- 20 Those who return … Zarephath: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
- 20 Sepharad: Possibly the city of Sardis, the capital of Lydia, a country north and west of Media. This would refer to those captives from Judah who had been taken beyond the kingdom of Babylonia.
- 21 Those the Lord … Edom: Or “Leaders on (from) Mount Zion will save the people and rule over Edom.”
