1:11 Outside of this book, nothing specific is known of Edom’s role during the various Babylonian invasions of Judah (in 605, 597, and 586 BC). Responsibility toward one’s neighbor is a specific requirement of God’s law (e.g., Deut 22:1-4; cp. Matt 25:41-46), especially when there is either a specific “treaty of brotherhood” (Amos 1:9) or a historical relationship that is regarded as fraternal (see study note on Obad 1:6).
