    • 2001, David L. Lieber, Jules Harlow, Etz Hayim: Torah and Commentary, page 222:
      Exemplary in this regard is the thematic centrality of Obad. 1:21 in Jewish liturgy, because it serves as one of the climactic verses in part of the Rosh ha-Shanah Musaf service (known as Malkhuyot), celebrating and proclaiming God's future kingdom or dominion.
