Edom in Numbers 20
EE-dum
This place shows up in Numbers 20:14: “Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying: “Thus says your brother Israel: You know all the travail that has happened…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Numbers 20:14
“Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying: “Thus says your brother Israel: You know all the travail that has happened to us;”
