Obad 1:20 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Obad 1:19      Obad 1:21

Obadiah 1:20

The captives of the sons of Israel
who are among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath [near Sidon, see 1 Kings 17:9]
and the captives of Jerusalem
who are in Sepharad [far from Israel]
shall possess the cities of the south (Negev).
[This is the only time the word Sepharad is used, and there are various suggestions, but the main point of the mention is that it is a place far away. In modern Hebrew, Spain is Sephar and Spanish Jews are called Sephardim. Jonathan's Targum also associates Sepharad with Spain, although this is doubtful. Another alternative is that Sefarad may be "Saparda" from certain Assyrian inscriptions, which places the city in Media. Sardis in Asia Minor is another possibility, since its name in Lydian is Sfard.]
