Obd 14 | MHM | STEP | v. 14 : Edom did even more harm. When Jewish people tried to escape, Edom blocked their way. Some they killed, while others they captured and handed over to the enemy. Edom could have helped these refugees, but instead, they betrayed them. This cruelty is especially shocking because these people were defenseless and needed mercy. Edom acted as if they were the enemy, showing no care for their suffering neighbors .
