What does Obadiah 1:12-13 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

God reinforced the seriousness of the Edomites" sin by condemning it in parallel terminology eight times ( Obadiah 1:12-14). Compare the same parallel structure in Obadiah 1:7 where there is a threefold positive reiteration. There is also a pun in the Hebrew text since the word for "disaster" ("edam) is similar to the word "Edom" ("edom). Hostile attitudes more than physical violence were Edom"s sins against the Israelites on this occasion. Blood ties should have transcended even covenant ties. Edom"s allies would break covenant ties with her ( Obadiah 1:7), but she had betrayed blood ties.
