| description | Obadiah 7 describes a broken international treaty. Who are the ones who break theirinternational treaty with Edom? The identity of these allies is uncertain, but it has been suggested that they could be the Babylonians, Arabtribes, or Nabataeans. These anonymous allies in the text would havebeen easily identified by the first hearers and readers of the oracle since,at that time, Edom had a treaty of peace and cooperation with Babylon.Within only a few more decades this treaty was broken under the leadership of Nabonidus, when the Babylonian army and vassal states attackedEdom. The Edomites underestimated the possibility of any such attackfrom their Babylonian “friend” and had an excessive confidence in theirgeographic location (v. 3). The Babylonian army and their vassal statesare those who would sack all of the riches of Edom (v. 6) and would killtheir soldiers (v. 9). These are the ones who would lay traps, deceive,subjugate, and push Edom to their borders (v. 7). |

Obadiah 7 describes a broken international treaty. Who are the ones who break theirinternational treaty with Edom? The identity of these allies is uncertain, but it has been suggested that they could be the Babylonians, Arabtribes, or Nabataeans. These anonymous allies in the text would havebeen easily identified by the first hearers and readers of the oracle since,at that time, Edom had a treaty of peace and cooperation with Babylon.Within only a few more decades this treaty was broken under the leadership of Nabonidus, when the Babylonian army and vassal states attackedEdom. The Edomites underestimated the possibility of any such attackfrom their Babylonian “friend” and had an excessive confidence in theirgeographic location (v. 3). The Babylonian army and their vassal statesare those who would sack all of the riches of Edom (v. 6) and would killtheir soldiers (v. 9). These are the ones who would lay traps, deceive,subjugate, and push Edom to their borders (v. 7). Abdías 7 describeun tratado internacional roto. ¿Quiénes quebrantan el tratado internacional con Edom? La identidad de estos aliados es incierta pero se ha sugerido que podrían ser los babilonios, las tribus árabes, o los nabateos. Estosaliados anónimos en el texto serían fácilmente identificables por los primeros oidores y lectores del oráculo pues en ese momento Edom tenía untratado de paz y cooperación con Babilonia. No pasaron muchas décadaspara que este tratado se rompiese bajo el liderazgo de Nabonido, cuandoel ejército de Babilonia y estados vasallos atacaron a Edom. Los edomitasdesestimaron cualquier ataque de su “amiga” Babilonia y tenían excesode confianza por su ubicación geográfica (v. 3). El ejército babilónico y desus estados vasallos son los que saquearían todas las riquezas de Edom (v.6) y matarían a sus guerreros (v. 9); estos son los que le tenderían trampa,engañarían, someterían, y empujarían hasta la frontera (v. 7).
