Numbers24:18
18 And Edom shall be a possession , Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies , and Israel shall do valiantly :
Which was also foretold Gen. 25. 23. and in part fulfilled, 2 Sam. 8. 14. 1 Chron. 18. 13. but more fully by Christ, Amos 9. 12. Obad. ver. 18. who shall subdue and possess all his enemies here signified by the name of Edom, as Iacob or Israel, his brother, signifies all his Church and people.
A part and mountain of Edom, Gen. 36. 8. which may be here mentioned as the strongest part of Edom, to shew that not onely the rest of Edom, which is more accessible, but even the rocks and best munitions of it, shall be taken.
The Israelites.
Or, gain power, or riches, or victory, all which are comprehended in this phrase.
