### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: "The brotherly covenant" is the old treaty of friendship between Tyre and Israel, which Tyre broke by handing captives over to Edom. Interpretation: The prophet Amos teaches that nations too are judged for breaking promises and for cruelty. Some commentators also see Edom as the brother nation, since Edom came from Esau.

### examples

- Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Tyre, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they delivered up a whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant. (Prophets AMO.1.9, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/B/brotherly/#x1)
