Jonathan Zasloff: The Maccabees forcibly converted the kingdom of Edom at the beginning of the first century B.C.E.; by the time of the siege of Jerusalem 170 years later, according to Josephus, Edomites helped lead the Jewish resistance to Rome. A century later, no one distinguished the two peoples: All were Jewish. Most Jews, then, have a substantial amount of Edomite blood (generating an ironic meaning for prophetic condemnations of Edom).

And am I born to die
To lay this body down
And must my trembling spirit
Fly into a world unknown?

And must my trembling spirit
Fly into a world unknown?

A land of deepest shade
Unpierced by human thought
The dreary regions of the dead
Where all things are forgot.

The dreary regions of the dead
Where all things are forgot.

Soon as from earth I go
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my portion be.

Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my portion be,,,

Carl R. Trueman: When I was younger, politicians refused to use foul language in public. Senior members of both Biden and Trump administrations have been marked by their casual use of obscenities in public statements and interviews. A small thing that offends old-fashioned prudes? Perhaps. Or maybe a cloud the size of a man's hand, warning us that the old costly values of self-control, modesty, and respect for others—what Englishmen of an older generation called "decency"—have died, leaving a void to be filled by the cheap and the nasty. The right can be marked by expressive individualism as much as the left, with all of the moral inversion that brings with it.
