Synopsis
This book explores the complex historical relationship between the Edomites and Judeans through an examination of ancient Hebrew texts. The author first compares two very similar passages: one from the Book of Obadiah, and the other from a different, more well-known, text to highlight the differences between the two. This comparison allows the author to propose which text is more original, and to posit several compelling theories about how the different versions were produced, which then laid the foundation for the book. The book analyzes various passages from these ancient texts in great detail, with a focus on syntax, lexicography, and history. A key takeaway from the book is that the so-called prophecy in Obadiah, foretelling the destruction of Edom by Yahweh, was actually written after the destruction had already occurred.
