Ezekiel 25:13

"“‘The Lord GOD says: “Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and taken revenge on them,”"

Key Reflection

In Ezekiel 25:13, the Lord declares his judgment on Edom for its actions against Judah. The verse reveals that Edom took vengeance upon Judah, offending God deeply by harming a people who were closely related and perhaps once under Edom's jurisdiction. This act of retribution was not just an isolated incident but a significant transgression that warranted divine wrath, reflecting the strong familial ties between these nations and highlighting how even those within Israel’s sphere of influence could betray and harm their kin.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

From Teman ... -Or “from Teman” even unto “Dedan,” “shall they fall.” Teman and Dedan were districts (not cities), the former in the south (Ezekiel 20:46note), the latter in the north (“over the whole country”).
