COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

1, 2. mountains of Israel —in contrast to " Mount Seir" of the previous prophecy. They are here personified; Israel's elevation is moral, not merely physical, as Edom's. Her hills are "the everlasting hills" of Jacob's prophecy ( Genesis 49:26 ). "The enemy" (Edom, the singled-out representative of all God's foes), with a shout of exultation, "Aha!" had claimed, as the nearest kinsman of Israel (the brother of their father Esau), his vacated inheritance; as much as to say, the so-called "everlasting" inheritance of Israel and of the "hills," which typified the unmoved perpetuity of it ( Psalms 125:1 ; Psalms 125:2 ), has come to an end, in spite of the promise of God, and has become "ours" (compare Deuteronomy 32:13 ; Deuteronomy 33:15 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
