Obadiah 20-21
The Message
19-21 People from the south will take over the Esau mountains;
people from the foothills will overrun the Philistines.
They’ll take the farms of Ephraim and Samaria,
and Benjamin will take Gilead.
Earlier, Israelite exiles will come back
and take Canaanite land to the north at Zarephath.
Jerusalem exiles from the far northwest in Sepharad
will come back and take the cities in the south.
The remnant of the saved in Mount Zion
will go into the mountains of Esau
And rule justly and fairly,
a rule that honors God’s kingdom.
Obadiah 20-21
New International Version
20 This company of Israelite exiles who are in Canaan
will possess the land as far as Zarephath;(A)
the exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
will possess the towns of the Negev.(B)
21 Deliverers(C) will go up on[a] Mount Zion
to govern the mountains of Esau.
And the kingdom will be the Lord’s.(D)
