äÇø òÅùÒÈå (Har Ei•sauꞋ , Mount[ain of] Ei•sauꞋ , popularly Hellenized to "Esau"). Ei•sauꞋ was also known as Ë•domꞋ , who settled the region to the south of Yᵊhud•âhꞋ (Hellenized to "Judah," i.e. land of the Yᵊhud•imꞋ /Jews), in the region previously occupied by the Khor•imꞋ (hence, äÉø äÈäÈø, Hâr ha-Hâr, may originally have been çÉø äÈäÈø, Khor hâ-Hâr and identical with this mountain as well) fathering the people who became known as the "Edomites" (and, later, Idumeans).
In the second century B.C.E., John Hyrcanus forcibly converted the "Edomites," by then known as Idumeans, to Judaism. The inhabitants of Edom-Idumea "soon became an inseparable part of the Jewish nation" (Ency. Jud., 8.632). However, just as Herod was regarded as a false convert, other forced-convert Idumeans, especially after 70 C.E., reverted to their previous Arab heritage and culture.
The region of "Edom" included Beit LëkhꞋ ëm and Khë•vᵊr•onꞋ —today's Palistan (pseudo-Palestinians). More generally, however, Har Ei•sauꞋ symbolizes all non-Jews, especially those proximate to Tor•âhꞋ and Israel (the legitimate Jewish community).

äÇø ñÄéðÇé (Har Sin•aiꞋ ; Mount[ain of] Chinese?), meaning uncertain. Scholars agree that Har Sin•aiꞋ is certainly NOT Mt. St. Catherines in the southern Sinai. I concur with archeologist Anati that Har Sin•aiꞋ is present-day Har Kar•komꞋ (above). Moreover, its meaning, the mount of Saffron, nicely corroborates the "Burning Bush."
