The declaration that Mount Zion will be holy underscores the transformation and purification of God's people. This holiness is a reflection of God's own nature and His desire for His people to be sanctified. The concept of holiness is central to the covenant relationship between God and Israel, and it is fulfilled in the New Testament through the sanctifying work of Christ and the Holy Spirit (<a href="/1_peter/1-15.htm">1 Peter 1:15-16</a>, <a href="/hebrews/12-14.htm">Hebrews 12:14</a>).and the house of Jacob will reclaim their possession The house of Jacob refers to the descendants of Jacob, also known as Israel. The reclaiming of their possession speaks to the restoration of the land and blessings promised to the patriarchs. Historically, this can be seen in the return from Babylonian exile, but it also points to a future, eschatological fulfillment where God's people will inherit the kingdom. This promise is echoed in the New Testament, where believers, as spiritual descendants of Abraham, are heirs to the promises of God (<a href="/galatians/3-29.htm">Galatians 3:29</a>, <a href="/romans/8-17.htm">Romans 8:17</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/m/mount_zion.htm">Mount Zion</a> A significant hill in Jerusalem, symbolizing the presence of God and the spiritual center for the people of Israel.

There shall be holiness; rather, it (Mount Zion) shall be holy; so Septuagint, καὶ ἔσται ἄγιον: Hebrew, kodesh, "a sanctuary," where the heathen shall not come (<a href="/isaiah/52-1.htm">Isaiah 52:1</a>; comp. <a href="/joel/3-17.htm">Joel 3:17</a> [4:17, Hebrew]; <a href="/revelation/21-27.htm">Revelation 21:27</a>).

These versions must have used a different punctuation from that of the Masoretic text - morishehem for morashehom (comp. <a href="/numbers/24-18.htm">Numbers 24:18, 19</a>). The Hebrew pronoun is ambiguous, and "their possessions" may mean either those that the Jews themselves had lost, or those of the Edomites. But nothing is said of Israel being carried away captive and losing its country; and, though the prophet may have looked forward to such a catastrophe and to a future restoration, this is not the subject here. The possessions referred to are those of the enemy represented by the Edomites, and those which the Jews had lost since the days of David and Solomon; and "the house of Jacob" signifies, not merely the earthly kingdom of Judah, but "the people of God, who are eventually to obtain the dominion of the world" (Keil); <a href="/mark/16-15.htm">Mark 16:15</a>. <a href="/commentaries/obadiah/1-17.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>But on Mount וּבְהַ֥ר (ū·ḇə·har) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2022.htm">Strong's 2022: </a> Mountain, hill, hill country Zion צִיּ֛וֹן (ṣî·yō·wn) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6726.htm">Strong's 6726: </a> Zion -- a mountain in Jerusalem, also a name for Jerusalem there will be תִּהְיֶ֥ה (tih·yeh) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> To fall out, come to pass, become, be deliverance, פְלֵיטָ֖ה (p̄ə·lê·ṭāh) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6413.htm">Strong's 6413: </a> Deliverance, an escaped portion and it will be וְהָ֣יָה (wə·hā·yāh) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> To fall out, come to pass, become, be holy, קֹ֑דֶשׁ (qō·ḏeš) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6944.htm">Strong's 6944: </a> A sacred place, thing, sanctity and the house בֵּ֣ית (bêṯ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1004.htm">Strong's 1004: </a> A house of Jacob יַֽעֲקֹ֔ב (ya·‘ă·qōḇ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3290.htm">Strong's 3290: </a> Jacob -- a son of Isaac, also his desc will reclaim וְיָֽרְשׁוּ֙ (wə·yā·rə·šū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3423.htm">Strong's 3423: </a> To occupy, to seize, to rob, to inherit, to expel, to impoverish, to ruin their possession. מוֹרָֽשֵׁיהֶם׃‪‬ (mō·w·rā·šê·hem) Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4180.htm">Strong's 4180: </a> A possession, delight <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/obadiah/1-17.htm">Obadiah 1:17 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/obadiah/1-17.htm">Obadiah 1:17 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/obadiah/1-17.htm">Obadiah 1:17 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/obadiah/1-17.htm">Obadiah 1:17 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/obadiah/1-17.htm">Obadiah 1:17 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/obadiah/1-17.htm">Obadiah 1:17 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/obadiah/1-17.htm">Obadiah 1:17 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/obadiah/1-17.htm">Obadiah 1:17 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/obadiah/1-17.htm">Obadiah 1:17 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/obadiah/1-17.htm">Obadiah 1:17 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/obadiah/1-17.htm">OT Prophets: Obadiah 1:17 But in Mount Zion there will be (Obad.
