Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from אֱדוֹם (Edom), which is related to the root אָדֹם (adom), meaning "red."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for Edomite is found in the New Testament as Ἰδουμαῖος (Idoumaios), Strong's Greek Number 2401, which refers to an Idumean or an inhabitant of Idumea, the Greek name for Edom.

Usage: The term "Edomite" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the people descended from Esau, the brother of Jacob, who settled in the region of Edom, located to the south of the Kingdom of Judah. The Edomites are frequently mentioned in the context of their interactions and conflicts with the Israelites.

Context: The Edomites, identified by the Hebrew term אֱדֹמִי (Edomi), are the descendants of Esau, the elder twin brother of Jacob, also known as Israel. Esau was given the name Edom, meaning "red," due to the red stew for which he sold his birthright (Genesis 25:30). The Edomites settled in the mountainous region of Seir, which became known as Edom. This area is located southeast of the Dead Sea, encompassing parts of modern-day Jordan.

Throughout the biblical narrative, the Edomites are depicted as both kin and adversaries of the Israelites. Despite their shared ancestry, the relationship between the two nations was often marked by hostility and conflict. Notable biblical events involving the Edomites include their refusal to allow the Israelites passage through their land during the Exodus (Numbers 20:14-21) and their participation in various conflicts against Israel and Judah.

The prophets frequently pronounced judgments against Edom for their actions against Israel. For instance, the book of Obadiah is entirely dedicated to the condemnation of Edom for their pride and violence against their brother nation. Despite these conflicts, the Edomites were also subject to the same divine justice and mercy extended to all nations.

In the New Testament period, the region of Edom was known as Idumea, and its inhabitants, the Idumeans, were integrated into the broader cultural and political landscape of the region. Herod the Great, the king of Judea at the time of Jesus' birth, was of Idumean descent, illustrating the continued influence of the Edomite lineage.
