Places
Edom in Genesis 25
EE-dum
This place shows up in Genesis 25:30: “Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 25:30
“Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.”
