# brotherly

adjective

«brotherly» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## In 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.

### Meaning
