Kingdom of Edom
The kingdom was founded by a branch of the Israelite
tribes covering the land centered around Mount Seir from the Brook of Zered
to the Sinai Peninsula.
It seems that they and their Moabite
neighbours remained in Canaan while the Israelites emigrated to
Egypt in circa 1650 BC, and both kingdoms fought against the
return of the Israelites four hundred years later. |
