The Edomites were descendants of Esau, Jacob's brother, and this animosity can be traced back to the sibling rivalry between Esau and Jacob (<a href="/genesis/25-23.htm">Genesis 25:23-34</a>). The "ancient hatred" signifies a deep-seated hostility that persisted over generations. This enmity is also mentioned in other scriptures, such as <a href="/amos/1-11.htm">Amos 1:11</a>, where Edom's perpetual anger is condemned. The historical context shows that Edom often took advantage of Israel's vulnerabilities, exacerbating the conflict.<p><b>and delivered the Israelites over to the sword</b><br>This phrase highlights Edom's betrayal and active participation in the violence against Israel. During times of Israel's distress, particularly during the Babylonian invasion, Edom sided with the enemies of Israel, contributing to their downfall (<a href="/obadiah/1-10.htm">Obadiah 1:10-14</a>). This act of delivering Israel to the sword is seen as a grave sin, as it involved not only passive indifference but active aggression against their kin. The sword symbolizes warfare and destruction, emphasizing the severity of Edom's actions.<p><b>in the time of their disaster</b><br>The "time of their disaster" refers to the period of calamity for Israel, particularly the Babylonian conquest and the subsequent exile in 586 BC. This was a time of great suffering and loss for the Israelites, as Jerusalem was destroyed, and many were taken captive. The disaster was a fulfillment of prophetic warnings given by prophets like Jeremiah and Ezekiel, who had forewarned of the consequences of Israel's disobedience to God.<p><b>at the final stage of their punishment</b><br>This phrase indicates that the disaster was part of God's judgment upon Israel for their sins, as prophesied by Ezekiel and other prophets. The "final stage" suggests the culmination of a series of divine judgments that had been progressively unfolding. It underscores the idea that while God used other nations as instruments of His judgment, those nations, like Edom, were still held accountable for their actions. This reflects the biblical principle that God is sovereign over history, using it to accomplish His purposes while maintaining justice.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/edom.htm">Edom</a></b><br>A nation descended from Esau, Jacob's brother, known for its longstanding enmity with Israel.

And she went to inquire of the LORD.">Genesis 25:22</a>, &c., <a href="/genesis/27-41.htm" title="And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.">Genesis 27:41</a>); its peculiar malignity is noticed by <a href="/amos/1-11.htm" title="Thus said the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:">Amos 1:11</a>.

The time specifically referred to is that of the overthrow of Jerusalem, as both that of their great "calamity" and that when "their iniquity had an end." (On the last phrase, see Note on <a href="/ezekiel/21-29.htm" title="Whiles they see vanity to you, whiles they divine a lie to you, to bring you on the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.">Ezekiel 21:29</a>.) So the world-power generally, while it may fawn upon and corrupt the Church in the day of its prosperity, shows its undisguised hostility in every time of adversity. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/35.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 5.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred</span>; literally, <span class="accented">hatred of</span> old, or eternal enmity (cf. <a href="/ezekiel/25-15.htm">Ezekiel 25:15</a>). This was the first of the two specific grounds upon which Eden should feel the stroke of Divine vengeance. Edom had been Israel's hereditary foe from the days of Esau and Jacob (<a href="/genesis/25-22.htm">Genesis 25:22</a>, <span class="accented">sqq</span>.; and Genesis 27:37) downwards. Inspired with unappeasable wrath (<a href="/amos/1-11.htm">Amos 1:11</a>), during the period of the wandering he had refused Israel, "his brother," a passage through his territory (<a href="/numbers/20-14.htm">Numbers 20:14-21</a>; <a href="/judges/11-17.htm">Judges 11:17</a>), and in the days of Jehoshaphat had combined with Ammon and Moab to invade Judah (<a href="/2_chronicles/20-10.htm">2 Chronicles 20:10, 11</a>; cf. <a href="/psalms/83-1.htm">Psalm 83:1-8</a>). His relentless antipathy to Israel culminated, according to Ezekiel (cf. <a href="/obadiah/1-13.htm">Obadiah 1:13</a>), in the last days of <span class="cmt_word">Jerusalem, in the time of her calamity</span>, when Nebuchadnezzar's armies encompassed her walls, in the time that her <span class="cmt_word">iniquity</span> <span class="cmt_word">had an end</span>; or, in <span class="accented">the time of the iniquity of the end</span> (Revised Version); meaning, according to Keil, "the time of Judah's final transgression;" or, according to Dr. Currey, in the 'Speaker's Commentary,' the time when the capture of the city put an end to her iniquity; but, with more probability, according to Hengstenberg, Plumptre, and others, the time of that iniquity which brought on her end (comp. <a href="/ezekiel/21-29.htm">Ezekiel 21:29</a>). Ewald translates, "at the time of her extremest punishment," taking <span class="accented">avon</span> in the sense of punishment - a rendering the Revisers have placed in the margin. Then, according to Obadiah (vers. 11-14), the Edomites had not only stood coolly by, but malevolently exulted when they beheld Jerusalem besieged by the Babylonian warriors; and not only joined with the foreign invaders in the sacking of the city, but occupied its gates and guarded the roads leading into the country, so as to prevent the escape of any of the wretched inhabitants, and even hewed down with the sword such fugitives as they were not able to save alive and deliver up to captivity. To this Ezekiel refers when he accuses Edom of having <span class="cmt_word">shed</span> the <span class="cmt_word">blood of the children of Israel</span> by the fores of the sword; literally, of having <span class="accented">poured the children of Israel upon the hands of the sword; i.e.</span> of having delivered them up to the sword (cf. <a href="/psalms/63-11.htm">Psalm 63:11</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/18-21.htm">Jeremiah 18:21</a>). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/35-5.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Because</span><br /><span class="heb">יַ֗עַן</span> <span class="translit">(ya·‘an)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3282.htm">Strong's 3282: </a> </span><span class="str2">Heed, purpose, to indicate the reason, cause</span><br /><br /><span class="word">you harbored</span><br /><span class="heb">הֱי֤וֹת</span> <span class="translit">(hĕ·yō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb -
