Obadiah 1:21

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

in order to rule over Esau’s mountain.

Then the Lord will reign as King!


tc The present translation follows the reading מוּשָׁעִים (mushaim, “those who have been delivered”; cf. NRSV, CEV) rather than מוֹשִׁעִים (moshiim,“deliverers”; cf. NASB, NIV, NLT) of the MT (cf. LXX, Aquila, Theodotion, and Syriac).

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”).

tn Heb “then the kingdom will belong to the Lord.”
