Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
No debiste haberte puesto en los cruces de caminos para atrapar a los que huían, y no debiste haber entregado a los sobrevivientes en el día de su angustia.
Dios condena a Edom por traicionar a su hermano Israel, bloqueando su escape y entregando a los supervivientes en su momento más desesperado.
📚 Contexto Histórico
The Book of Obadiah was written as a prophetic oracle against Edom, likely during or shortly after the Babylonian invasion of Judah in 586 BC, when Jerusalem was destroyed. Edom, descendants of Esau and historical rivals to Israel, exploited Judah's vulnerability by blocking escape routes and betraying refugees during the chaos. This verse specifically highlights Edom's role in preventing survivors from fleeing and handing them over, emphasizing God's judgment on such treachery.
