 Location of Ë•dōmꞋ about 300 yrs after Ei•sauꞋ |
Ë•dōmꞋ ("clay-red"), cognate of אָדֹם—nickname of Ei•sauꞋ referencing his redness at birth, further reinforced by the pot of אָדֹם lentils for which he demonstrated his nomadic disinterest in settling down in his birthright Khë•vᵊr•ōnꞋ ranch.
Ë•dōmꞋ was further the patronym of his homeland, and that of his descendants, in what is today the southern Israeli NëgꞋëv, south of Bᵊeir ShëvꞋa and extending eastward, south of Yâm ha-MëlꞋakh, into what is today west-central Jordan. See also Har Ei•sawꞋ.
Both the region & people of Ë•dōmꞋ later became known by the name of his, infamous, grandson—A•mâ•leiqꞋ!!! (Gratefully, there are no known extant genealogical records connecting any individual Jordanians to A•mâ•leiqꞋ.)
אֱדוֹמִי, pl. אֱדוֹמִים later, Hellenized to Idumea (think Herod).
As Ei•sâuꞋ was born of the same mother as Ya•a•qovꞋ, yet became an Arab patriarch, Ei•sâuꞋ is proof that the racist argument of simply being born of a Jewish mother or having Jewish DNA isn't sufficient to make one a Jew. Abandoning Tōr•âhꞋ excludes even one born of a Jewish mother from Yi•sᵊr•â•eilꞋ and from being a Jew.
The most infamous Ë•dōm•iꞋ was the grandson of Ei•sâuꞋ: עֲמָלֵק! Remember!
Ancient Ë•dōmꞋ (later Idumea) today comprises part of the Israeli NëgꞋëv and southwestern Jordan. Today's Ei•dōm•imꞋ (Edomites, Idumeans) are the Arabs of Jordan.
