This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Shall be bathed in the blood of these people; Heb. is or shall be made drunk. In heaven; either,
1. In my church, which is called heaven, Dan_8:10 Rev_4:1 12:1, in and against which these enemies are said to be gathered together. Or,
2. In the highest heaven, where God dwells; in which this is said to be done, because it was there decreed and appointed to be done.
Upon Idumea; upon the Edomites, who, though they were nearly related to the Israelites, and were circumcised as well as they; yet were their most inveterate and implacable enemies, watching all opportunities, and being ready to join with all those that attempted, to destroy them; whereof we have many intimations and instances in Scripture. But these are not named exclusively, but rather comprehensively, and synecdochically, for all the enemies of God’s church, of whom they were a considerable part, and an eminent type.
Upon the people of my curse; to whom my curse belongs; or, whom I have cursed, and devoted to utter destruction, as this Hebrew word properly signifies.
