(the book of obadiah is an oracle concerning the divine judgment of edom and the restoration of israel)
(the text consists of a single chapter, divided into 21 verses, making it the shortest book in the “hebrew bible”)
(in judaism and christianity, its authorship is attributed to a prophet who lived in the assyrian Period and named himself in the first verse, Obadiah)
(his name means “servant of yahweh”)

(in judaism, obadiah is considered a “later prophet” and this masoretic text is chronologically placed in the tanakh under the section nevi’im in the last category called “the twelve prophets”)
