A crossroads is a place where two roads come together.

to,cut_off
Here, to cut down is a metaphor that means “to kill.” It is likely a comparison to the way grain is cut down at harvest time. See how you translated this same metaphor in 1:9.

If it would be helpful in your language, you could make explicit to whom the Edomites delivered the Judean survivors. Alternate translation: [You should not have captured the survivors and delivered them over to the enemy soldiers]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
