This Book studies ancient Hebrew Text of Obadiah, ancient Translations and Ancient Interpretations and thus this Book strongly argues that the NEW TRANSLATION OF THE BOOK OF OBADIAH BY PASI K. POHJALA 2008 published in Verre et Bible 2 (2008) truthfully follows these ancient Translations and Interpretations and that thus it is to be scholarly seriously reckoned with. This Book also considers histories of REQEM-Petra, the ancient Nabataean capital.
