A Prophecy Against Edom

25:12 “This is what the sovereign Lord says: ‘Edom ⁶  has taken vengeance against the house of Judah; they have made themselves fully culpable ⁷  by taking vengeance ⁸  on them. ⁹ 

Yehezkiel 27:12-13

27:12 “‘Tarshish ¹⁰  was your trade partner because of your abundant wealth; they exchanged silver, iron, tin, and lead for your products. 27:13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your clients; they exchanged slaves and bronze items for your merchandise.

Yehezkiel 27:25

27:25 The ships of Tarshish ¹¹  were the transports for your merchandise.

“‘So you were filled and weighed down in the heart of the seas.

Yehezkiel 27:31

Yehezkiel 30:17

30:17 The young men of On and of Pi-beseth ¹³  will die by the sword;

and the cities will go ¹⁴  into captivity.

[7:18]  ¹ tn Heb “baldness will be on their heads.”

[10:5]  ² tn The name (“El Shaddai”) has often been translated “God Almighty,” primarily because Jerome translated it omnipotens (“all powerful”) in the Latin Vulgate. There has been much debate over the meaning of the name. For discussion see W. F. Albright, “The Names Shaddai and Abram,” JBL 54 (1935): 173-210; R. Gordis, “The Biblical Root sdy-sd,” JTS 41 (1940): 34-43; and especially T. N. D. Mettinger, In Search of God, 69-72.

[19:2]  ³ sn Lions probably refer to Judahite royalty and/or nobility. The lioness appears to symbolize the Davidic dynasty, though some see the referent as Hamutal, the wife of Josiah and mother of Jehoahaz and Zedekiah. Gen 49:9 seems to be the background for Judah being compared to lions.

[22:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “will you judge.” Here the imperfect form of the verb is probably used with a desiderative nuance. Addressed to the prophet, “judge” means to warn of or pronounce God’s impending judgment upon the city. See 20:4.

[22:2]  ⁵ tn The phrase “bloody city” is used of Nineveh in Nah 3:1.

[25:12]  ⁶ sn Edom was located south of Moab.

[25:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “and they have become guilty, becoming guilty.” The infinitive absolute following the finite verb makes the statement emphatic and draws attention to the degree of guilt incurred by Edom due to its actions.

[25:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “and they have taken vengeance.”

[25:12]  ⁹ sn Edom apparently in some way assisted in the destruction of Jerusalem in 587/6 b.c. (Ps 137:7; Lam 5:21, 23; Joel 3:19; Obadiah).

[27:12]  ¹⁰ sn Tarshish refers to a distant seaport sometimes believed to be located in southern Spain (others identified it as Carthage in North Africa). In any event it represents here a distant, rich, and exotic port which was a trading partner of Tyre.

[27:25]  ¹¹ tn Or perhaps “Large merchant ships.” The expression “ships of Tarshish” may describe a class of vessel, that is, large oceangoing merchant ships.

[27:31]  ¹² tn Heb “and they will weep concerning you with bitterness of soul, (with) bitter mourning.”

[30:17]  ¹³ sn On and Pi-beseth are generally identified with the Egyptian cities of Heliopolis and Bubastis.

[30:17]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “they will go.” The pronoun and verb are feminine plural, indicating that the cities just mentioned are the antecedent of the pronoun and the subject of the verb. The translation makes this clear by stating the subject as “the cities.”

[33:26]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “stand.”

[35:5]  ¹⁶ tn Or “gave over…to the power of the sword.” This phrase also occurs in Jer 18:21 and Ps 63:10.
