Strong's Lexicon edom: Edom Original Word: אֱדֹם Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Edom Pronunciation: eh-DOME Phonetic Spelling: (ed-ome') Definition: Edom Meaning: Edom refers to both a person and a geographical region. It is the name given to Esau, the elder son of Isaac and Rebekah, and the twin brother of Jacob. The name is also used to denote the descendants of Esau and the territory they inhabited, located to the southeast of Israel. Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אָדֹם (adom), meaning "red." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2063 (Edom): This Greek entry corresponds to the Hebrew "Edom," used in the Septuagint and New Testament references to the region or people of Edom. • G4450 (Idoumaia): This term refers to Idumea, the Greek name for Edom, used in the New Testament to describe the region south of Judea. • G2401 (Idoumaios): This Greek term denotes an Idumean or Edomite, referring to the people descended from Esau. In summary, Edom is a multifaceted term in the Bible, encompassing the individual Esau, his descendants, and their territory. It serves as a symbol of both familial ties and national enmity, with significant theological implications in the biblical narrative. Usage: The term "Edom" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to Esau, the progenitor of the Edomites, and the land they occupied. It appears in various contexts, including genealogical records, historical narratives, and prophetic literature. Context: • Edom as a Person: Esau, also known as Edom, is a significant biblical figure. He is described as a skillful hunter and a man of the field. The name "Edom" is associated with the red stew for which Esau sold his birthright to his brother Jacob (Genesis 25:30). This transaction is pivotal in the narrative of the Israelite patriarchs, highlighting themes of inheritance and divine providence. • Edom as a Nation: The descendants of Esau, known as the Edomites, settled in the region south of the Dead Sea. The land of Edom is characterized by its rugged terrain and red sandstone cliffs, which may have contributed to its name. Edom's relationship with Israel is marked by conflict and hostility, as seen in various biblical accounts. For instance, Edom refused passage to the Israelites during their exodus from Egypt (Numbers 20:14-21). • Prophetic References: Edom is frequently mentioned in the prophetic books of the Bible, often symbolizing opposition to God's people. Prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Obadiah pronounce judgments against Edom for its pride and enmity towards Israel. For example, Obadiah's prophecy is entirely dedicated to the downfall of Edom, emphasizing divine retribution for their actions against Judah (Obadiah 1:1-21).
