NET Notes |
1 sn Edom, a “brother” nation to Israel, became almost paradigmatic of hostility toward Israel and God (see Num 20:14-21; Deut 2:8; Jer 49:7-22; Ezek 25:12-14; Amos 1:11-12; Obad 10-12). 2 sn The epithet 3 tn Heb “and they will call them.” The third person plural subject is indefinite; one could translate, “and people will call them.” |
