Places
Edom in Exodus 15
EE-dum
This place shows up in Exodus 15:15: “Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Exodus 15:15
“Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.”
