Berean Strong's Lexicon edom: Edom Original Word: אֱדוֹם Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אָדֹם (adom), meaning "red." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Edom in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, but the Greek term Ἰδουμαία (Idoumaia, Strong's G2401) refers to the region of Edom. Usage: Edom refers to both a person and a nation in the Bible. As a person, Edom is another name for Esau, the elder twin brother of Jacob, who sold his birthright for a meal of red stew (Genesis 25:30). As a nation, Edom represents the descendants of Esau, who settled in the region southeast of Israel, known for its rugged terrain and red sandstone cliffs. Cultural and Historical Background: The Edomites were a significant neighboring nation to Israel, often in conflict with them. The land of Edom was strategically located along trade routes, contributing to its wealth and influence. Despite their shared ancestry with Israel through Isaac, the Edomites frequently opposed Israel, leading to numerous biblical prophecies against them. The relationship between Israel and Edom is marked by both familial ties and persistent enmity.
