Israel’s Final Triumph
And there shall be holiness;
The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
And the house of Joseph aa flame;
But the house of Esau shall be stubble;
They shall kindle them and devour them,
And no survivor shall remain of the house of Esau,”
For the Lord has spoken.
bAnd the Lowland shall possess Philistia.
They shall possess the fields of Ephraim
And the fields of Samaria.
Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
Shall possess the land of the Canaanites
As afar as Zarephath.
The captives of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
bShall possess the cities of the1 South.
To judge the mountains of Esau,
And the bkingdom shall be the Lord’s.
