Obadiah 1:20
_ _ the captivity of this host — that is, the captives of this multitude of Israelites.
_ _ shall possess that of the Canaanites — Maurer translates, “the captives ... whom the Canaanites (carried away captive into Phoenicia) even unto Zarephath, shall possess the south,” namely, Idumea as well as the south (Obadiah 1:19). Henderson, similarly, “the captives that are among the Canaanites,” etc. But the corresponding clauses of the parallelism are better balanced in English Version, “the ten tribes of Israel shall possess the territory of the Canaanites,” namely, Western Palestine and Phoenicia (Judges 3:3). “And the captives of Jerusalem (and Judah) shall possess the southern cities,” namely, Edom, etc. Each has the region respectively adjoining assigned to it; Israel has the western Canaanite region; Judah, the southern.
_ _ even unto Zarephath — near Zidon; called Sarepta in Luke 4:26. The name implies it was a place for smelting metals. From this quarter came the “woman of Canaan” (Matthew 15:21, Matthew 15:22). Captives of the Jews had been carried into the coasts of Palestine or Canaan, about Tyre and Zidon (Joel 3:3, Joel 3:4; Amos 1:9). The Jews when restored shall possess the territory of their ancient oppressors.
_ _ in Sepharad — that is, the Bosphorus [Jerome, from his Hebrew Instructor]. Sephar, according to others (Genesis 10:30). Palaeography confirms Jerome. In the cuneiform inscription containing a list of the tribes of Persia [Niebuhr, Tab. 31.1], before Ionia and Greece, and after Cappadocia, comes the name CPaRaD. It was therefore a district of Western Asia Minor, about Lydia, and near the Bosphorus. It is made an appellative by Maurer. “The Jerusalem captives of the dispersion” (compare James 1:1), wherever they be dispersed, shall return and possess the southern cities. Sepharad, though literally the district near the Bosphorus, represents the Jews’ far and wide dispersion. Jerome says the name in Assyrian means a boundary, that is, “the Jews scattered in all boundaries and regions.” |
Obadiah 1:20
The captivity — Those of the ten tribes that were carried away captive by Salmanesar. Of the Canaanites — All the country they anciently possessed with this addition, that what the Canaanites held by force, and the Israelites could not take from them, shall now be possessed by these returned captives. Zarephath — Near Sidon. Of Jerusalem — The two tribes carried captive by Nebuchadnezzar. Sepharad — Probably a region of Chaldea. The cities — All the cities which were once their own. |
Obadiah 1:20
And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel [shall possess] that of the (p) Canaanites, [even] unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which [is] in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
(p) By the Canaanites, the Jews mean the Dutchmen, and by Zarephath, France, and by Sepharad, Spain. |
