Bible Question:
What modern day people / nations would be descendents of Esau? Chusarcik |
Bible Answer: Esau's descendants are listed in Gen 36 (Repeated 1 Chron 1). The main focus is the ones living in Edom (36:9,43), which is now Jordan. One was Amalek, who did not live in Edom. His family was completely wiped out, records the Bible. One would expect to find his descendants in the Sinai and in western Saudi Arabia. But see Jer 49:7-22, and Obadiah (esp 18). There will be no survivors. Some nearby nations had a remnant. Others were taken to captivity, and so some survived. Scripture indicates no Edomite lived. See Ob 5. Some should be left, but none were. Greentwiga |
