Obadiah	Abdías
Jeremiah	Jeremías
Ezekiel	Ezequiel
Amos	Amós
Joel	Joel
Malachi	Malaquías
Zephaniah	Sofonías
Habakkuk	Habacuc

Since Obadiah is a single chapter, all internal citations in this document use the form “Abdías 1:N” (verse only; chapter number retained for consistency with the multi-chapter citation convention used elsewhere in the pipeline, matching Reina-Valera practice for one-chapter books such as Abdías, Filemón, 2 y 3 Juan, and Judas).

1. Cross-Reference Matrix

1.1 Abdías 1:1–4 — Superscription and the Pride of Edom

Passage	Theme	Related Character(s)	OT/NT Connection	Translation Sensitivity
Abdías 1:1	Prophetic authority; divine oracle against Edom	Abdías (prophet); Edom	Direct literary parallel: Jeremías 49:14-16 (near-verbatim opening); cf. Amós 1:11-12 (oracle against Edom in the Twelve); background narrative: Génesis 36 (Edom’s genealogy)	Critical — “Jehová el Señor” (Adonai YHWH) is a new divine-name compound not addressed in the Romans baseline; flag every occurrence for theologian review (see 07_semantic_analysis.md §4).
Abdías 1:1	Nations summoned against Edom	Edom	Parallel oracle structure: Jeremías 49:14 (“He oído nuevas de Jehová… ‘Reuníos, y venid contra ella’“)	Medium — standard prophetic-oracle idiom; low ambiguity beyond consistency with the Jeremiah parallel.
Abdías 1:2-4	Pride/self-exaltation punished	Edom (personified as “you”)	Direct parallel: Jeremías 49:16 (“Tu terrible fanfarronería te ha engañado, y la soberbia de tu corazón…”); thematic parallel: Isaías 14:13-15 (the king of Babylon’s self-exaltation “hasta el cielo,” a related pride-judgment topos); Proverbios 16:18 (“Antes de la destrucción es la soberbia”)	High — “soberbia” (zadon) must retain morally culpable self-exaltation against God; do not soften to “orgullo” per 08_core_glossary.md #6.
Abdías 1:4	Inescapability of divine judgment despite height/exaltation	Edom	Echo pattern found in Amós 9:2-3 (“aunque cavaren hasta el Seol… aunque se escondieren en la cumbre del Carmelo”) — God’s reach is total regardless of geographic/social height	Low — figurative imagery, standard prophetic vocabulary.

1.2 Abdías 1:5–7 — Edom’s Coming Plunder

Passage	Theme	Related Character(s)	OT/NT Connection	Translation Sensitivity
Abdías 1:5-6	Total plunder exceeding even ordinary thieves	Edom	Direct literary parallel: Jeremías 49:9-10 (near-identical thieves/grape-gatherers imagery)	Low-Medium — shared imagery; render consistently with any future Jeremiah-curriculum rendering if one is produced.
Abdías 1:7	Betrayal by allies; mundane political covenant	Edom and its treaty partners	Contrast/irony with Edom’s own betrayal of covenant-brother Jacob (Abdías 1:10); mundane בְּרִית here, NOT the theological covenant category of Génesis 15:18, 2 Samuel 7:12-16 (Davidic covenant), or the baseline’s `covenant`/`davidic_covenant` doctrine	Medium, distinguishing note mandatory — reuse baseline “pacto” exactly (per hard rule) but attach a gloss: here, a political/military alliance, not God’s covenant of promise. See 08_core_glossary.md #12.

1.3 Abdías 1:8–9 — Loss of Wisdom and Might

Passage	Theme	Related Character(s)	OT/NT Connection	Translation Sensitivity
Abdías 1:8-9	Edom’s proverbial wisdom removed	Edom; Temán (region); cf. Elifaz temanita	Background: Job 2:11 (Eliphaz the Temanite, associating Edom/Teman with sages); direct parallel: Jeremías 49:7 (“¿No hay más sabiduría en Temán?”)	Low — standard vocabulary; catechetical note on Edom’s wisdom reputation is useful but not a translation risk.
Abdías 1:9	Military might fails	Edom’s warriors (gibborim)	Parallel judgment-oracle pattern: Amós 2:14-16 (the mighty cannot flee on the Day of the LORD) — anticipates Abdías 1:15-16’s universalizing of this same principle	Low-Medium — standard.

1.4 Abdías 1:10–11 — Violence Against Brother Jacob

Passage	Theme	Related Character(s)	OT/NT Connection	Translation Sensitivity
Abdías 1:10	Violence (chamas) against a covenant-brother	Edom (Esaú); Jacob	Foundational narrative: Génesis 25:19-34 (Jacob and Esaú’s birth and rivalry); Génesis 27 (the stolen blessing); Génesis 36:1 (Esaú = Edom); command violated: Deuteronomio 23:7 (“No aborrecerás al edomita, pues es tu hermano”)	High — “violencia” (chamas) must carry the full weight of fratricidal covenant-betrayal, not generic conflict. New term for translation memory; see 08_core_glossary.md #9.
Abdías 1:10	Election and rejection of the two brothers (typological background)	Jacob; Esaú	Génesis 25:23 (“dos naciones hay en tu vientre… el mayor servirá al menor”); Malaquías 1:2-3 (“A Jacob amé, mas a Esaú aborrecí”) — BOTH texts are directly quoted in Romanos 9:10-13 as Paul’s proof of God’s sovereign election	Critical parallel to Romans baseline. This is the single most important cross-reference in the whole book for curriculum continuity: Obadiah’s entire subject (Edom = Esaú’s descendants) is the outworking, centuries later, of the sovereign distinction God made between Jacob and Esaú before either was born. See §4 below for the mandatory rendering-consistency rule.
Abdías 1:10	Shame (honor-shame judgment)	Edom	Comparable pattern: Jeremías 49:17 (“Y será Edom por espanto”); cultural resonance: Salmos 137:7 (Edom’s complicity/rejoicing at Jerusalem’s fall, remembered generations later in exile)	Medium — honor-shame dynamics; native speaker review per baseline’s general flag category.
Abdías 1:11	Standing aloof; casting lots over plunder; historical background of Edom’s specific betrayal	Edom; “foreigners” (nokhrim); Jerusalem	Best historical referent: Edom’s opportunistic role at Jerusalem’s fall to Babylon, cf. Salmos 137:7, Ezequiel 25:12 (“Edom hizo venganza cruel contra la casa de Judá”), Ezequiel 35:5 (“por cuanto tuviste enemistad perpetua… en el tiempo de su calamidad, en el tiempo de la consumación de su iniquidad”)	Medium — “echar suertes” must not evoke modern “tener suerte” (luck); clarifying note recommended per 08_core_glossary.md #14.

1.5 Abdías 1:12–14 — Warning Against Gloating

Passage	Theme	Related Character(s)	OT/NT Connection	Translation Sensitivity
Abdías 1:12-14	Prohibition against gloating over a brother’s calamity	Edom; “the sons of Judah”	Ethical parallel/echo forward: Romanos 12:19-21 (“No os venguéis vosotros mismos… antes bien, si tu enemigo tuviere hambre, dale de comer” — quoting Deuteronomio 32:35 and echoing Proverbios 25:21-22) — Paul’s NT ethic of non-retaliation stands in direct continuity with Abdías’s indictment of Edom’s opposite behavior (gloating, complicity, betrayal)	High — the anaphoric “en el día de…” (×5) must be rendered identically each occurrence to preserve the literary crescendo into Abdías 1:15’s “el día de Jehová.” See 08_core_glossary.md #15. Theological bridge to Romanos 12:19-21 should be taught explicitly: what Edom did wrong, Romans commands believers to refuse.
Abdías 1:14	Complicity in atrocity: handing over survivors/refugees	Edom; Judahite refugees	Comparable severity: Amós 1:6, 9 (Gaza and Tyre judged for handing over captives); Amós 1:11 (Edom specifically judged, in the same oracle collection, “porque persiguió a espada a su hermano”)	Medium-High — retain full moral weight of complicity in atrocity, not minor lapse.

1.6 Abdías 1:15–16 — The Day of the LORD for All Nations

Passage	Theme	Related Character(s)	OT/NT Connection	Translation Sensitivity
Abdías 1:15	The Day of the LORD, universalized to all nations	All nations; Edom as test case	Core Day-of-the-LORD texts: Isaías 13:6-9; Sofonías 1:14-18; Amós 5:18-20; Joel 1:15, 2:1-11, 31; NT continuation: 1 Tesalonicenses 5:2 (“el día del Señor vendrá así como ladrón de noche”); 2 Pedro 3:10 (“el día del Señor vendrá como ladrón”)	Critical — “el día de Jehová” must retain eschatological, universal scope; do not historicize as only the ancient anti-Edom event. Must be taught as the same theological category as NT “el día del Señor,” differing in that Abdías anchors the divine name as “Jehová,” while the NT epistles use “Señor” of the same referent (see 07_semantic_analysis.md §4).
Abdías 1:15	Lex talionis — precise measure-for-measure retribution	Edom; the nations	Structural parallel: Habacuc 2:8 (“por la sangre de los hombres, y por la violencia hecha a la tierra… todos los demás pueblos te despojarán a ti”); NT principle-echo (with important caution): Gálatas 6:7 (“todo lo que el hombre sembrare, esto también segará”) and Mateo 26:52 (“todos los que toman espada, a espada perecerán”)	High — must be grounded as the personal governance of a covenant-keeping God, never rendered so as to suggest an impersonal karmic mechanism. Distinguish carefully from vernacular “lo que siembras, cosechas” fatalism. See 08_core_glossary.md #19.
Abdías 1:16	Cup-of-wrath motif	All nations; Edom	Stock motif: Jeremías 25:15-29 (the cup of God’s wrath passed to all nations); Isaías 51:17, 22; Salmos 75:8; NT continuation: Apocalipsis 14:10, 16:19 (the cup of God’s wrath poured out)	High — bare “beber” carries no inherent judgment sense in everyday Spanish; must be cross-referenced explicitly to this motif in teaching notes, not solved lexically. See 08_core_glossary.md #20.
Abdías 1:16	God’s holy mountain profaned, then vindicated	Zion/Jerusalem	Reuses baseline `holy` = “santo”; background: Salmos 2:6, Isaías 11:9 (“mi santo monte”)	High — reuse baseline term exactly; teach as God’s own relational set-apartness, not ritual purity or shrine-pilgrimage sanctity.

1.7 Abdías 1:17 — Deliverance on Mount Zion

Passage	Theme	Related Character(s)	OT/NT Connection	Translation Sensitivity
Abdías 1:17	Deliverance/escape (peleitah) on Mount Zion	”the house of Jacob”	NEAR-VERBATIM PARALLEL: Joel 2:32 (“porque en el monte de Sion y en Jerusalén habrá liberación/escape, como Jehová ha dicho”) — Hebrew כִּי בְּהַר־צִיּוֹן… תִּהְיֶה פְלֵיטָה is virtually identical to Abdías 1:17’s וּבְהַר צִיּוֹן תִּהְיֶה פְלֵיטָה. Joel 2:32 is quoted directly in Romanos 10:13 (“Todo aquel que invocare el nombre del Señor, será salvo”) and in Hechos 2:21	CRITICAL — highest-priority rendering-consistency case in this document. See §4.1 below for the mandatory rule governing this connection.
Abdías 1:17	Restored inheritance (“possess their possessions”)	The house of Jacob	Covenant land-promise background: Génesis 15:18-21, Josué 1:2-4; NT category to distinguish from, not conflate with: Romanos 8:17 (“herederos juntamente con Cristo”)	Medium-High — territorial/covenantal inheritance (this-worldly) vs. NT spiritual inheritance as God’s children; teach as related-but-distinct per 08_core_glossary.md #23.

1.8 Abdías 1:18 — Total Judgment on Edom

Passage	Theme	Related Character(s)	OT/NT Connection	Translation Sensitivity
Abdías 1:18	Jacob/Joseph as consuming fire; Esaú as stubble	House of Jacob, House of Joseph; House of Esaú	Fire-judgment topos: Isaías 10:17, Nahúm 1:6; final “no survivor” language parallels total-judgment formulas throughout the prophets, e.g. Amós 1:11-12, Jeremías 49:10 (“no le quedará nada”)	Low-Medium — figurative totality-of-judgment imagery; teach as figurative, not literal firestorm prophecy alone.
Abdías 1:18	”For the LORD has spoken” — performative divine guarantee	—	Prophetic certainty formula recurring across the Twelve, e.g. Isaías 1:20, Miqueas 4:4; NT continuity of divine speech-act reliability: Hebreos 6:13-18 (God’s promise and oath are unchangeable)	Critical — must never read as opinion or hope; a performative guarantee.

1.9 Abdías 1:19–20 — Territorial Restoration

Passage	Theme	Related Character(s)	OT/NT Connection	Translation Sensitivity
Abdías 1:19-20	Comprehensive territorial repossession	Negev, Shefelah, Philistines, Efraín, Samaria, Benjamín, Galaad; exiles of Israel and Jerusalem	Covenant land-promise fulfillment pattern: Génesis 15:18-21; background of the historical exile events referenced: 2 Reyes 25 (fall of Jerusalem); 2 Crónicas 21:8-10 (earlier Edomite revolt from Judah, showing the long history of hostility)	Low-Medium — proper names, standard vocabulary; catechetical (OT geography) note useful but not a lexical risk.
Abdías 1:20	Exile/captivity (galut) and its reversal	Exiles of Israel; exiles of Jerusalem	Category background: 2 Reyes 25:11 (deportation to Babylon); reversal pattern echoed in Jeremías 29:10-14 (promise of return) and ultimately Romanos 11:25-32 (Paul’s argument that Israel’s partial hardening is not final, and “todo Israel será salvo”)	High — “cautiverio” is a new term with no Romans-baseline equivalent; must be taught as covenant discipline followed by promised restoration, not generic displacement. Bridges naturally to Romanos 11 in cross-curriculum teaching. See 08_core_glossary.md #28.

1.10 Abdías 1:21 — The Kingdom Belongs to the LORD

Passage	Theme	Related Character(s)	OT/NT Connection	Translation Sensitivity
Abdías 1:21	Human deliverers raised up (“saviors”)	Unnamed deliverers on Mount Zion	Typological background: the judge-deliverers of Jueces 2:16-18 (God repeatedly “raised up” — Hiphil of the same root yasha’ — deliverers for Israel); the root יָשַׁע underlies the names Josué (Joshua), Isaías (Isaiah), the acclamation “Hosanna” (Mateo 21:9), and — via יְהוֹשׁוּעַ — Jesús himself	Critical. This is a major typological on-ramp to Christ: the pattern of God-raised human deliverers in Israel’s history (Judges) culminates in the one ultimate Deliverer, Jesús, whose very name means “the LORD saves/delivers.” MANDATORY teaching note on every occurrence per 08_core_glossary.md #29: these human “salvadores” prefigure but never rival Christ’s unique saving work (baseline `salvation` = “salvación,” Critical), and must not be conflated with the saints/Marian-intercessor framework the baseline flags under `saints`/`intercession`.
Abdías 1:21	The kingdom belongs to the LORD	—	Direct OT-canon parallels: Salmos 22:28 (“Porque de Jehová es el reino”); Salmos 103:19; Daniel 2:44 (the God of heaven’s kingdom “permanecerá para siempre”); Daniel 7:14, 27 (an everlasting kingdom given to “uno como hijo de hombre” / “los santos del Altísimo”); NT climax: Apocalipsis 11:15 (“los reinos del mundo han venido a ser de nuestro Señor y de su Cristo”); 1 Corintios 15:24-28 (Christ delivers the kingdom to the Father, “para que Dios sea todo en todos”); Mateo 6:10 (“venga tu reino”); baseline NT term reused: Romanos 14:17 (`kingdom_of_god` = “reino de Dios”)	Critical. This is the book’s climactic thesis and the direct OT root of the baseline’s `kingdom_of_god` doctrine. Must not be read as an ethnic-Israelite political restoration (a live risk given the immediately preceding territorial language of Abdías 1:19-20) but as God’s comprehensive, universal sovereign reign, continuous with the NT’s “reino de Dios.” See §4.2 below for the rendering-consistency rule bridging Abdías 1:21 and Romanos 14:17.

2. Messianic References and Typology (Summary)

Type/Figure in Obadiah	NT Fulfillment/Antitype	Citation(s)	Notes
The moshi’im (“saviors/deliverers”) raised on Mount Zion, Abdías 1:21	Jesús, the ultimate Deliverer whose name derives from the same Hebrew root (yasha’)	Mateo 1:21 (“y llamarás su nombre JESÚS, porque él salvará a su pueblo”); Hechos 4:12	Critical typology. Teach as pattern-fulfillment, not equivalence: the OT deliverers are instruments; Christ is the source.
Mount Zion as the place of deliverance/escape, Abdías 1:17	The heavenly Zion, the assembly of the redeemed	Hebreos 12:22-24 (“os habéis acercado al monte de Sion… a la congregación de los primogénitos”); Apocalipsis 14:1	Medium — typological expansion from earthly, geographic Zion to the eschatological gathering place; teach explicitly, do not assume the connection is obvious to learners.
The Day of the LORD against Edom (a historical, partial judgment), Abdías 1:15	The final, universal Day of the LORD/Day of Christ	1 Tesalonicenses 5:2; 2 Pedro 3:10; Apocalipsis 6:17	Critical — “already/not yet” pattern: Abdías’s Day is a real historical judgment that previews, but does not exhaust, the final eschatological Day.
The kingdom given finally to the LORD, Abdías 1:21	The kingdom given to Christ and consummated at his return	Daniel 7:13-14; Apocalipsis 11:15; 1 Corintios 15:24-28	Critical — direct trajectory into the baseline’s `kingdom_of_god` doctrine.
Edom’s judgment at Bozrah (implied background, cf. Isaías 63:1-6)	The divine warrior imagery applied to Christ’s return in judgment	Isaías 63:1-6 (“¿Quién es este que viene de Edom, de Bosra, teñidos sus vestidos de rojo?”); Apocalipsis 19:13, 19:15 (the robe dipped in blood; treading the winepress of God’s wrath)	High — Isaiah’s Bozrah/Edom judgment vision is widely recognized by commentators as informing Revelation’s warrior-Christ imagery; worth an explicit teaching cross-reference though Isaiah 63 is outside Obadiah itself.

3. Direct Literary Parallel: Obadiah and Jeremiah 49

Obadiah shares extensive near-verbatim wording with Jeremías 49:7-22 (the oracle against Edom within Jeremiah’s broader oracles against the nations). Scholarly opinion is divided on the direction of dependence (a common older source, Obadiah drawing on Jeremiah, or vice versa); this curriculum takes no position on literary-critical priority, since it is theologically immaterial to Obadiah’s canonical message. For translation purposes:

Rule: Where Abdías and Jeremías 49 share near-identical Hebrew wording (vv.1-6, 8-9 principally), the Spanish renderings should independently follow each book’s own established Reina-Valera-anchored wording; do not force artificial harmonization between the two books’ translations if the RV1960/RVA2015 tradition itself renders them with minor variation. Flag any future Jeremiah curriculum for cross-checking against this Obadiah Language Package’s choices (soberbia, violencia, etc.) for consistency where the underlying Hebrew is identical.

4. Parallels to the Romans Curriculum: Mandatory Rendering-Consistency Rules

Because Romans is this Language Package’s baseline curriculum, the following shared or closely related biblical quotations/themes require verbatim or doctrinally-aligned consistency between the Obadiah and Romans curricula.

4.1 Joel 2:32 / Abdías 1:17 / Romanos 10:13 — Deliverance on Zion

Chain: Joel 2:32 (“en el monte de Sion… habrá liberación/escape”) → quoted by Pablo in Romanos 10:13 (“Todo aquel que invocare el nombre del Señor, será salvo”) → nearly identical Hebrew wording independently present in Abdías 1:17.
Rule: Romans’ baseline already renders the Romanos 10:13 quotation using baseline terms salvation = “salvación” and lord = “Señor.” Abdías 1:17’s peleitah must NOT be forced into the word “salvación” (which would overwrite the baseline’s Critical-risk term with an OT territorial-deliverance nuance it does not carry in Romans). Retain the recommended Obadiah-specific rendering “un remanente liberado/rescatado” (pending final theologian resolution per 08_core_glossary.md #22) and teach the Joel/Romans connection as a thematic and structural parallel, not a lexical identity requiring the same Spanish word.
Teaching note required: learners should be shown that the same Hebrew concept and near-identical phrase underlies both texts, and that Paul’s universal “todo aquel que invocare” (Romanos 10:13) extends the “remnant on Zion” promise beyond ethnic Israel to “todo el que” — Jew and Gentile alike (Romanos 10:12) — a trajectory Abdías’s own “todas las naciones” (Abdías 1:15) already anticipates.

4.2 Melukhah (Abdías 1:21) / Basileia tou Theou (Romanos 14:17 and throughout NT)

Rule: Abdías 1:21’s “y el reino será de Jehová” is the direct OT lexical and conceptual root of the baseline’s kingdom_of_god = “reino de Dios.” Both must be taught as the same divine reality (God’s comprehensive sovereign reign), differing only in which divine title (Jehová vs. Dios/Señor) the respective Testament uses. Do NOT render Abdías 1:21 as “el reino de Dios” (importing the NT-specific phrase into the OT text) — retain “el reino será de Jehová” per the established divine-name decision (see 07_semantic_analysis.md §4), while cross-referencing “reino de Dios” explicitly in teaching notes.

4.3 Génesis 25:23 + Malaquías 1:2-3 / Romanos 9:10-13 — Jacob and Esaú

Rule: Obadiah’s entire object of judgment (Edom = the nation descended from Esaú) is the long-term outworking of the sovereign election announced in Génesis 25:23 and cited by name in Malaquías 1:2-3, both of which Pablo quotes directly in Romanos 9:10-13 as his primary proof-text for unconditional election. This curriculum must teach Abdías as showing, centuries downstream, the historical consequences of the very distinction Romans 9 uses to establish the doctrine of election. Both curricula must render “Jacob” and “Esaú” identically (established proper names, no translation choice required), and any teaching material bridging the two books should cite both Romanos 9:10-13 and Abdías 1:10 together.
Doctrinal caution: Do not let this parallel be read as making Edom’s judgment a simple, deterministic consequence of Esaú’s original non-election (a fatalistic misreading). Abdías 1:10-14 grounds Edom’s judgment explicitly in Edom’s own violent, gloating, complicit actions — moral agency and culpability, not bare predestined fate. This nuance parallels the baseline’s caution against collapsing election/providence into “destino”/“suerte” language.

4.4 Deuteronomio 32:35 / Romanos 12:19-21 — Vengeance Belongs to the Lord

Rule: Abdías 1:15’s lex talionis (“tu recompensa volverá sobre tu cabeza”) and the prohibitions against gloating in Abdías 1:12-14 form the OT backdrop against which Romanos 12:19 (“No os venguéis vosotros mismos, sino dejad lugar a la ira de Dios… Mía es la venganza, yo pagaré, dice el Señor” — quoting Deuteronomio 32:35) should be taught. Render Abdías 1:15 with full retributive-justice force (per 08_core_glossary.md #19) and cross-reference Romanos 12:19 explicitly: God, not the believer, executes this recompense — a principle Edom violated by taking retribution into its own hands against a weakened brother.

4.5 “Todas las naciones” (Abdías 1:15-16) and Baseline `gentiles`

Rule: Reconfirm per 07/08: Obadiah’s גּוֹיִם must render as “naciones,” never baseline’s gentiles = “gentiles.” The Romans baseline’s “gentiles” is keyed to the NT Jew-Gentile unity-in-Christ argument (Romanos 3:29-30; 10:12; 11:17-24) and must remain reserved for that doctrinal frame. When cross-teaching Abdías 1:15’s universal judgment scope alongside Romanos 10:12’s universal salvation-offer scope, make the contrast explicit: the same “all nations” who stand under judgment in Abdías 1:15 are the same “all” (“todo aquel,” “no hay diferencia entre judío y griego”) who are offered salvation in Romanos 10:12-13 — judgment and grace both universal in scope, a double parallel worth teaching together.

5. Summary of Translation Sensitivity Flags Requiring Theologian Review

Cross-Reference	Reason for Critical/High Flag
Abdías 1:1 (Jehová el Señor)	New compound divine title, no baseline precedent
Abdías 1:10 ↔ Génesis 25:23, Malaquías 1:2-3, Romanos 9:10-13	Election doctrine; risk of fatalistic misreading
Abdías 1:15 (el día de Jehová) ↔ 1 Tesalonicenses 5:2, 2 Pedro 3:10	Eschatological scope must not be historicized away
Abdías 1:15 (lex talionis) ↔ Gálatas 6:7, Habacuc 2:8	Risk of collapsing personal divine justice into impersonal karma idiom
Abdías 1:17 (peleitah) ↔ Joel 2:32, Romanos 10:13	”Liberación” risk of Liberation Theology resonance; must not overwrite baseline “salvación”
Abdías 1:20 (galut/cautiverio) ↔ Romanos 11:25-32	New exile category; bridges to Israel’s future restoration in Romans
Abdías 1:21 (moshi’im/salvadores) ↔ Jueces 2:16-18, Mateo 1:21	Risk of rivaling or diluting Christ’s unique saving work; risk of saints/Marian-intercessor conflation
Abdías 1:21 (melukhah/el reino) ↔ Daniel 2:44, 7:14, Apocalipsis 11:15, Romanos 14:17	Book’s climactic thesis; direct OT root of `kingdom_of_god`; risk of ethnic-nationalist misreading

This document extends the Romans baseline Language Package. All cross-references to Romans passages use the baseline’s established Spanish terminology (salvación, reino de Dios, Señor, gentiles, pacto, elección, providencia) without modification. Where Obadiah’s OT usage requires a distinct rendering (naciones vs. gentiles; Jehová vs. Señor/Dios), the distinction is documented as a contextual scope rule, not a contradiction of the baseline.
