Verse 1
1. The scene here introduced is as if Jehovah, in a broken dramatic picture, is returning with the tread of a triumphant conqueror from a complete victory over foes. and the people cry out,
Who is this that cometh from Edom Ever a scornful enemy to the Jews, and even to the latest day of their history a relentless one.
With dyed garments Edom means red; some, from this fact, have needlessly supposed a play upon words, and not a reference to the land of Edom. This coincidence of blood-red with the dazzling garments of the conqueror is, however, quite too fanciful.
Bozrah A town within the limits of Edom, not the Bozrah of the Hauran.
I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save This is the answer of the conqueror, Jehovah.
Be the first to react on this!
