2 | Who are the Edomites today? | Mal 1:4 | rabban | 191239 | ||
The Edomites were only partly descended from Esau. He joined up in the territory of Edom with a large number of people whose descendants would also be Edomites (Genesis 33.1). No doubt others also later joined the tribe and became Edomites. They were overrun by the Nabataeans in 3rd century BC and mainly fled to Southern Judah were John Hyrcanus later forced them to become Jews and be circumcised. Herod was one of these i.e. an Idumaean. They were thus absorbed into Judaism. |
