‏ Amos 1:11-12

1:11 ^a Edom was another betrayer (see 1:9 ^b; Gen 36 ^c; see also Gen 25:23-30 ^d; 27:39-40 ^e).

• The NLT adds the Israelites to make explicit what relatives (literally brother) means (see Gen 25:25-30 ^f). “Brothers” can also refer to parties to a treaty (see Amos 1:9 ^g). Apparently Edom exerted constant pressure on the borders of Israel and Judah, raiding and plundering at moments of weakness (Jer 49:7-22 ^h; Obad 1:1-9 ⁱ).
1:12 ^j With the destruction of the major cities of Teman and Bozrah, Edom lost its capacity for continual warfare. Babylon destroyed Edom shortly after Judah in 553 BC (see Jer 27 ^k; 49:7-22 ^l; see also study note on Obad 1:18).
