"Because of violence to your brother Jacob, You will be covered with shame, And you will be cut off forever."

Indeed, blood is thicker than many things. We should learn to take care of our blood brothers, relatives. Edomites were punished by God for not helping their brethren, the Israelites.

Joseph's blood brother (through Rachel) was Benjamin. He treated him 5 times better when they came to Egypt. Something to think through... 🤔😎

Bible Reading Reflection from Obadiah

"Because of violence to your brother Jacob, You will be covered with shame, And you will be cut off forever."

God is going to punish the descendants of Esau because they didn't help the descendants of Jacob. Jacob was the younger brother of Esau. Instead of helping his brother (Israelites), the Edomites attacked them.

I remember 1Timothy 5:8, where Paul says that if anyone doesn't take care of his family members, he is worse than an unbeliever!

Let's take care of our family members. Family members are our priority! Even Jesus took care of His earthly mom!
