35:1-15 Why was another judgment message spoken against Edom? Some interpreters suggest this message was either superfluous or misplaced and should be moved, perhaps to 25:12-14. But the message indeed was appropriate as a solemn reminder of the tragedy of Esau’s descendants, the Edomites. Jacob’s descendants would receive the blessing Isaac gave to Jacob (Gn 27:27-29). Mention of the judgment of Edom was a reminder of Esau’s loss and a fitting prelude to the restoration of Israel. The Edomites opposed Israel and finally were judged (Is 34:5-6; Jr 49:7-22; Obadiah; Mal 1:4).
