The people of Aram will be exiled to Kir,” says the LORD.
7. 6ENGOJBThus saith Hashem: For shloshah peysha'im of Azah (Gaza), even for arba'ah, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the golus shleimah (entire exiled population), to deliver them up to Edom;BSBBSB: This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Gaza, even four, I will not revoke My judgment, because they exiled a whole population, delivering them up to Edom.
