: "Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it" (NKJV){{bibleref2|Ezekiel|35:2|NKJV}}

• "Son of man" (Hebrew: בן־אדם {{Strong-number|ḇen|H|01121}}-{{Strong-number|’ā-ḏām|H|00120}}): this phrase is used 93 times to address Ezekiel.{{sfn|Bromiley|1995|p=574}}

Galambush suggests that "the choice of Mount Seir as the counterpart to the mountains of Israel is puzzling", noting that Ezekiel's oracle against Edom in {{bibleref2|Ezekiel|25:12-14|NKJV}} is "a brief, virtually pro forma condemnation of Israel's neighbour for taking advantage of Israel's broken condition. The motivation for locating a second, more vehement condemnation here is obscure.

:Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess them’, although the Lord was there.{{bibleref2|Ezekiel|35:10|NKJV}}: NKJV

This verse suggests that the Edomites planned to take possession of the promised land, Israel and Judah,Explained in the Expanded Bible at {{bibleref2|Ezekiel|35:10|EXB}} following the Israelites' deportation to Babylon.

: As you rejoiced because the inheritance of the house of Israel was desolate, so I will do to you;

: you shall be desolate, O Mount Seir, as well as all of Edom—all of it!

: Then they shall know that I am the Lord.”’ (NKJV){{bibleref2|Ezekiel|35:15|NKJV}}
