Obadiah 1:21

1:21 Those who have been delivered ¹  will go up on Mount Zion

in order to rule over ²  Esau’s mountain.

Then the Lord will reign as King! ³ 

[1:21]  ¹ tc The present translation follows the reading מוּשָׁעִים (musha’im, “those who have been delivered”; cf. NRSV, CEV) rather than מוֹשִׁעִים (moshi’im,“deliverers”; cf. NASB, NIV, NLT) of the MT (cf. LXX, Aquila, Theodotion, and Syriac).

[1:21]  ² tn Heb “to judge.” In this context the term does not mean “to render judgment on,” but “to rule over” (cf. NAB “to rule”; NIV “to govern”).

[1:21]  ³ tn Heb “then the kingdom will belong to the Lord.”
