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.
