“And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.”
'Edom will become a possession, Seir also, his enemies, will become a possession, while Israel does valiantly' — the prophecy continues to describe Israel's future conquests. Edom and Seir (a geographic variant for Edom) will be possessed; they are Israel's enemies (tsarav). Israel will act valiantly (ya'aseh chayil), demonstrating strength and courage. The conquests are presented as inevitable and sure.
